well the age of the child is important. And their hobbies (as your cluthu experiences show). My oldest son is not a great student. But he is very involved in Drama. He's flown to Pensylvania to participate in a play. He is typically in 4-5 plays a year. He is the director of the improv program at his high school. Sometimes his plays go till late and then there are cast parties and the forays to Denny's for midnight sandwiches. I know exactlt where Michael is and I pick him up so I know he is where he says he is. But once he is 18, I doubt I will really moniter it like I do now.
