I agree. What sort of bad decisions and what consequences do you have at home for when he makes these bad choices? The same goes for a tween that goes for a toddler. Consistency for consequences makes a big impact.
Quoting stressed-mom:
Hes actn out n school by not turning n his homework after we have sit down n done it,He goes 2 class n disrupts the class,gets put out of class his teachers always sayn how smart he is when hes focused. I punsh him by takn the things i no he like or enjoy he still go 2 school n do the same things
Has the school gotten involved in helping to resolve the issues at school? If not, ask them for help. They should be able to help you. Have you considered having him evaluated for ADHD? It could just be his hormones and the changing of his body that is causing issues.
Welcome to the group! What bad decsions is he making. Is it with friends or not doing homework? I always found the best thuing was to reward for good behavior. Remove for bad. (IE take away privledges, gaming consoles, phones etc) And being consistant. Don't let him get away with something once, he'll try again! Good Luck!
How did you find Cafemom?
