    Have them ask John Rosemond for parenting advice.

    and if he's in SERIOUS trouble consider taking away all privileges (look up John Rosemond's 'kick them out of the garden of eden' approach).

    - take away the bedroom door
    - take away all possessions except clothes, bed, sheets
    - no cell, tv, computer, books, games ... ONLY schoolwork is allowed
    - no going out except for school etc.
    - punishment lasts one month... and the counter is reset every time he repeats the horrible things that got him in trouble in the first place

    that might fix him

      My parents tried that when I was younger. It was nice living without that stuff for awhile. Caught up on my reading and sleep but it NEVER solved ANYTHING. I was grounded 3 summers in a row. I didn't care.
      Then again I'm not easily changed by authority or anyone for that fact. But some kids give into that kind of stuff.

        They didn't do it right then. You had books to read. That is something that gets taken away too unless it's for homework.

          Lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!! Books taken away????? What's next you're not allowed to go to school to learn????

          That is honestly the DUMBEST thing I've ever heard in my life. No offense. But computers, phones, ipods, the works.. are something of a convenience and entertainment. Books are EDUCATIONAL. No matter what kind. Taking away something that furthers your kids education is the most fucked up thing in the world.

          So grounding consists of them sitting in their room twiddling their thumbs for months on end? I hear a mental disorder coming from this. That is the cruelest and most inhumane thing I have ever heard. What the fuck is wrong with you?

            A child won't turn dumb if they're banned from reading for pleasure during a punishment.

            That's the IDEA of punishment. It's not suppose to be fun... it's suppose to make the child say "This sucks" and make them pull their heads out of their behinds and realize the only way to have fun is to start behaving.

            If you don't like it that's fine, but it doesn't make it automatically "stupid".

            After all this plan came from an actual psychologist named John Rosmond. If you think it's "stupid" show me your degree and what plans you have developed that have results.

              Degrees have nothing to do with smarts.. I don't think school is worth my time just for a piece of paper to say I went through the proper paperwork to make a name for myself. I have personally gone through this sort of punishment and I say it has NOT worked AT ALL. I am living proof he is full of shit.
