Hi NgoNam, Oshiro, Claire and all, When my daughter was in her first school years I was strict with her and I realized later it didn't work like that. My daughter became fearful from me. She used to forget her homework and she didn't bring her notebooks to home. Later the teacher asked me 'Why your daughter isn't doing her homework?'. Only in that moment I realized that I was in the wrong way. I change a lot about her because of that. The only problem was her scholar performance, I mean, not her grades but her skills, her handwriting and her scholar duties. Although she was above the average.
Now, and since ever we focus around values, about health, about physical activity, the social part, etc. I mean, about the importance of an integral development, and about the importance of enjoying her childhood. She is twelve. She doesn't need a boyfriend. She needs a puppy! And so do I! I'm relaxed with her but I keep complaining for basic things/ responsibilities like the importance of be tidy, etc.. But that isn't my cup of tea either ;) LOL I mean, rather than being strict or not, the important think is set an example and spend time with them. I a parent keeps watching TV at nights, why he/she would be entitled to ask too much to children?
