Would You Pay Your Child To Stay Off Social Media? One Mom Did…..

Teens and social media can be a VERY slippery slope. I can’t tell you how many friends I’ve talked to that have brought up the issues it can bring, and sometimes parents feel stuck, trying not to be too controlling, while also protecting your children from the dangers. So why not make your kids an offer that involves cash?

That’s one a Minnesota mom did, and she’s now going viral, on social media of all places, because of it. Lorna Klefsaas of Motley, Minnesota decided when her son was 12, that she would pay him $1,800 if he would stay off social media until he was 18. Six years later and her son has done just that! This new way of parenting has led to parents all around the country wondering if they should make the same trade. Would you?
