It is hard - her school is year-round, so her summer breaks are only 30 days - which means we get her for 1 month out of 12. We try to influence her as much as we can, but it's hard to make a real impact over skype or in a month. We try to live the way we want her to be (hard working, responsible spending, caring, etc.) because I think showing how to do something is better than telling.
