Hi everyone I've been struggling with this for so long time and I think it will always be a balance.
We can't push them so hard to not make lose their focus but we can't be easier to not make them think that we don't care about. The good way is make deals about important questions that we wanna control. For instance: "we'll agree that if you don't do your homework you'll not play video game for a week" ( or wherever they like) The important thing is to do rules that can be accomplish. If they fail you have to keep the deal...they'll test you sometimes....
