I recently bragged on the brag thread about this...My DD13 called a family meeting to discuss rules and chores etc. She showed up to the meeting with three different power point presentations, research on various topics etc. She led a two hour meeting discussing things as being allowed to wear make-up, clothes style chores, and consequences. It was an amazing meeting. I am not sure that most kids do this kind of "communicating" at this age. I enjoyed it a lot. We really got to see first hand the "collegiate cognitive level and vocabulary in a CHILD with limited life experience" at work.
