My 8 year old son is having Authority issues. He's a good kid,sweet kid, but is having slight growing issues at School as well as at home following direction and rules. We hardly EVER spank our kids and try grounding and taking privileges away and NOTHING seems to get his attention. We also have a 4 yr old son that of course looks up to his brother and annoys the 8 yr old by beeing up his butt. Basically the oldest wants what he wants when he wants it and gets an attitude otherwise. He's falling behind in School and he doesn't seem to be able to tell me what is going on so I might can help him. Mt hubby is a Marine and has also tried making him do exorcises when he acts up, and he's use to that now. He's just gotten stronger and toned. lol I know it's not funny, but I'm just trying to figure out what I can do different to get my sons attention. I am so embarrassed that everytime I talk to his Teacher she sais that he's a different kid than the start of the year. Constantly getting out of his seat, talking to kids during class and she has to keep stopping her curriculum to repremand him. I know this may seem small potatoes to some of you, but I really need advice as to how to get his attention about his "I don't care" attitude. Is Summer kiddy Boot Camp too harsh? I need help!!!

This may sound harsh... this may sound mean but I come from a military family and let me tell you something ...
bust his a$$Let him know, there is NO option. You sit your butt down in class. You raise your hand. You do not spoke unless spoken to. You do not hit, spit, throw, swear, (not saying he does that but just saying ideas) etc...
When he gets home clean his room out. my dad used to bag my sh^t up and leave my bed and dresser, THAT'S IT! And until I straightened my act up I didn't get my stuff back. I had to go without. I got home did homework until he was satisfied then ate dinner did dishes and went to bed. If I spoke back he didn't just wash my mouth out with soap he made me bite it while he pulled it... sure to leave wads in my teeth...
I survived and let me say it wasn't fun but my a$$ behaved. i got straight A's in school, had perfect attendance, and was a good kid... I knew what was coming if not. I have struggled with my daughter who is 5 with her manners... I think I am too lax. I do not follow through. I knew my dad meant business, Caileigh knows I don't... toughen up, clean his room out NO TOYS NO OUTSIDE. It may not be fun for you but it will prove to him you are serious. You don't get to have fun when you mis behave! Good luck keep us posted!
My daughter has limb girdle muscular dystrophy. She may waddle, she may fall, but she is not ignorant. She sees you stare. She hears you snicker. Her heart aches like mine and yours when people laugh at her. Be polite and ask about her condition rather than be rude and make fun of her. Please educate yourself, as I can only educate her so much about ignorance and stupidity. I can only tell her so much about just how cruel the world can be.

It is a good idea to remove all things outta his room, but he and his brother share a room. We're in a 2 bedroom apt.
