[QUOTE="ksm, post: 747621, member: 12511"] I don't know if it would work, but have you thought of starting out the day and he had no punishments? A clean slate from past behaviors? Then have punishments be short term? Then let natural consequences be his punishment? Also, let his dad be the disciplinarian for him instead of you? I agree with taking game controls and electronics away at bedtime. But, I think if he has his own room, he should sleep there. I think if I were a young teen, and had no quiet place I could go, I would be very angry after a while. Had he had an IQ test done? My adopted daughter (was step granddaughter) was very bright but did poorly in school. It turned out she was in the bottom 13% for both processing speed and working memory, but top 13% for general knowledge. Her mother drank thru the first half of her pregnancy and that caused FASD/ARND. It's like the frontal lobe of her brain wasn't wired right. No concept of time/money/cause and effect. Has he been thoroughly tested? Ksm [/QUOTE]
