[TR] Daughters First ticket

[Bud Rolofson]

I had all three of my kids pay for half the price of the car, to  
provide some pride of ownership and the accompanying caution that  
you're wrecking YOUR car not just the parents car and it will sit  
until you (not me) can afford to fix it.  Along with that I made them  
pay half the insurance with the understanding that if the insurance  
increased as a result of traffic violations then they paid the  
increase or they couldn't drive.

I found that restricting them from driving didn't do a whole lot to  
change their outlook and it became more punishment for me since I then  
had to revert back to driving them places.

Monetary consequences to their lifestyle made a much bigger and longer  
lasting impression.
