[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 239721, member: 6271"] Good job...with tracking down the facts from the teacher and saying what your surly mouthed youth does need to hear. Next link all privileges to the rules: speak courteously, homework and chores before any computer time or outings or visits. Put a lock on the computer room with a key. No homework no chores no privileges. Tart with mother..grounded. Oh oh...do bare in mind that all his needs are subject to your good humor. If you are not happy then nobody is happy. Going out after saying what you did was perfict. Take care of you first. Next establish the consequence for failing to do homework and going out. Grounded until futher notice. I also have a high grades for use of the computer rule. Not average, not passing,HIGH. HOmework on the computer, fine, Supervise it. Pull the game controlers, disconnect the internet. any work that requires the computer use can be done supervised. and limited to the work..not anything else. he will want his privileges. So have him show you for two weeks in a row that he can behave respectfully toward you and anyone else, that he can do his chores without complaint or reminders, that he can ask for permission befor leaving the house and do so after he has completed his homework. After two weeks let him write down the house rules, his obligations, what he did to get himself grounded and when he has done all that have him list why what he did was wrong, who he hurts when he does that and what he can do today and in the future when the same situation arises. After he does that then let him know what the limits are for each grade he earns for computer use. A= B= C= D=0 and negates all other grades times. Let him know how many hours per week he may max use the computer. Let him know how many hours per day max he may use the computer. Let him know how many minutes per session he may play a game without stopping and doing something else. Ask him how he will keep track. Then have him write all that down in fact have him make a sign that he can put next to his computer so that he doesn't forget ever. Break any rule and go back to grounded. Any questions? [/QUOTE]
