My 8yearold son，Kevin，has made friends with some boys in the neighborhood. He has been
36 with them after school. My wife，and I are
37 he has other kids to be with and we have
__38__ and encouraged him to play with his friends. We also want Kevin to learn _
_39__，so we have asked him to tell us
__40__ he's going and to come home at a specified time.
The
__41__ started when Kevin didn't come home on time. On one occasion，I asked Kevin to be back at 6 pm. By 6：30，I needed to go
__42__ him. I found him at a friend's house，and he looked
43 that he couldn't continue playing. After we came home，I sat Kevin down for a talk about the
_44 _ of keeping his word. I told him I was not worried about his arriving a few
__45__ late， after a half hour， he told me he understood and I was
_46_ _.
The next day，I came home from work at about 6:30 pm and my wife asked me to go and get Kevin back
__47__ she said he should be back home at 6. I walked to his friend's house and a look of
__48__ appeared on Kevin's face when he came to the door.
At
__49__，my wife and I spoke to Kevin about why he didn't come home on time again. He said he just wanted to _
50__ playing. This was _
_51__，so we decided to ground(罚不准出门)him for a week. This
__52_ no playing with his friends.
For the next week，whenever his friends came to ask for Kevin，we let him
__53__ to them that he was grounded. We felt this would help him be responsible for his _
_54__.
As a _
_55__，I believe one of the most important things we can teach our kids is self-responsibility and that actions have consequences.
