Time Management; Self-Motivated

One of my goals with my children, now teens, is to encourage self-motivation and time management. I want them to be able to handle their own time. I feel this is an important life skill and sometimes they have to "fail" in order to get it.

We have been schooling now just over a month. My daughter has been told every Monday for the last several weeks to get on my computer to see her assignments and what is expected from her for the week. I use homeschool tracker to help record and keep track of our school records.

Anyway, this last week I decided NOT to say something to her on Monday. I decided to just let it be and see what happens. Well, nothing! Nothing happened. She did nothing in terms of school work and on Thursday night I think a light bulb went on because I got asked: "Mom are we going to do school at all this week?"
