Convincing parents to allow me to get a graphic tablet?

As the parent of a fourteen year old child who is begging for a drawing tablet, I can tell you what my daughter has done to encourage me to see things her way. She is doing extra chores, and not just the usual ones that go towards maintaining our living environment. Recently she started helping more with the heavy yard work, getting ready for our annual garage sale, cleaning out closets, and the summer scrubbing of the garage.

We pay her extra for the hard work she puts in on the chores we would not normally ask her to do. She is helping out our neighbors. Mostly this involves pet sitting and bringing in their mail when they are out of town.

She is paid a small amount for this. She has saved her birthday and Christmas money. At the end of the first quarter in the coming school year, we have agreed to sit down with her and discuss her budget.

She is wanting both a drawing tablet and a beginning embroidery machine. Based on what is in her savings account, the amount of work she has put in over the summer, and her grades, we will help her towards her goal of having those things. We will not pay for the items so that she can have them quickly and easily.

These are items that my husband and I both feel she should earn on her own. This way, she will be vested in their purchase and will feel more responsible for their care. Try talking to your parents about your desire to have the drawing tablet and what you plan on doing towards earning the money required to purchase one.

See if they are willing to meet you half way.

1. Save up your chore money. 2.

Go in your neighborhood and cut the grass, trim trees, whatever for your neighbors for moeny. 3. Collect bottles and cans to take to the recycle to get money.

4. Babysit. 5.

If you are old enough get a school business permission slip and go to work @ McDonald, Taco Bell, etc. If you EARN your own money and buy it yourself, you won't break it, loose it, or let somebody mess with it. Be smart. Get your OWN money, and buy it yourself.

Show your parents you are growing up.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
