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 e home at a specified time.
The     41     started when Kevin didn't e 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 e 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.
