As Molly was getting her allowance this morning ($3/week), she said something to the effect of "When I started getting my allowance, you said I was getting half of my age..." It was clear that she was thinking of asking for a "raise" now that she has turned 7, but didn't feel comfortable with saying it. We said, "That's true. Let us know if you have anything you'd like to ask us." She still seemed hesitant, so I suggested she write down her thoughts before saying them out loud, and she did. Needless to say, her negotiation was successful. :)
