Please believe me when I say that my child has always gotten grounded, spanked or punished in some fashion or form when he has misbehaved in school or at home. (Last school year it didn't do any good no matter what I did) But my son goes to school and does not take things seriously. He reads very well and does his math very well when he's at home but when he gets to school he thinks that when a teacher or another adult is nice to him that everything is ok and he can act dumb and let them tell him the answers and that he's passing. The teacher says its like pulling teeth to get him to finish his work some days. Especially in reading. Case in point...His teacher had his reading level at a 13 even though he was suppose to be at a 15 (even though he read level 15 books just fine at home.) Well last week the school had the end of year testing on reading and since he was in a room with a stranger and this person was nice to him he acted like he didn't know half of the words and even replaced some words with the wrong ones and came out at a reading level 8. Now he has probably failed 1st grade for the second time because of this and falling a little short on his math. We haven't gotten report cards yet so its not 100% for sure. (He failed last year mainly because his horrid behavior got in the way of his learning and the teacher wouldn't communicate with me to tell me what I needed to do to help him pass) We've some how gotten past the bad behavior part. Last year the teacher made me (yes, made me, its a long story) sign papers for him to start a program where he would have an extra teacher that he would see for about 30 min every day because they thought he had some type of learning disability. I'm not living in denial and I know that my child does not have a learning disability or has ADD. I can tell by the way he acts at home. I guess what, I'm saying is, is that I have tried everything in the book to correct this behavior (standing in the corner forever, spanking, grounding, writing 100 sentences, etc.) in him and nothing has worked. I dont want to ground him for the entire summer and take away playing outside, tv, video games, etc and banish him to his room for three months. Do I need to? Does anyone have any advice to give because evidently I'm not doing this parent thing the right way. Sorry for the long post.
Well i'm 14.. And not a parent. But my friends brother had the same problem. The reason he did this was because he wasn't being challenged enough. In other words. He was too smart for the work. So maybe try challenging him more. Maybe try giving him harder things to work on.
Your son is displaying signs of emotional problems. To behave differently when someone is nice to you is a sign that you are depressed or even have a bi-polar disorder. I really think you should take him to see a psychiatrist of some sort and have him talk to someone about this.
This sounds like my son!! I have a 10 yr. old who is the same way. He will play with his hair. He has pulled his teeth in the middle of class. He only does this to get out of doing the work. We to punish him. (it seems to help for a bit.) My son has ADHD. I am not a doctor and I do not know your son but speaking from 10yrs of being Austin Mommy I would suggest that you get him tested for ADHD or ADD. If he has ADD he may not have behavioral issues. And a home setting is much different than being at school. Most children with ADAD and ADD are very iIntelligent. They just are not able to concentrate for long periods of time and they loose interest. There are many books out there that you may want to get. (you can get them at any book store) But like I said it wouldn't hurt to have him tested. I hope I helped..
In fourth grade, I starting having behavioral problems, and my school work was affected. My mom and teacher told me that if I couldn't to the work and do it right I would have to stay after with my teacher for extra help to learn the material. My problem was reading comprehension. I was bad at and I hated reading, so I tried to do the questions without reading. HAHA joke was on me as that didn't work when it was a random passage with a random topic. I hated my teacher and did not want to spend time with her, and especially not alone where I was left to fend for myself, so I started trying hard and actually reading the passages and getting some answers right-never had to stay after with that old bag! Still had issues with shutting my mouth in class, but I did my work the right way! You could try getting daily reports from the teacher, and/or frequent conferences, with your son there. If you have a daily report, there can be more immediate consequences. If your son doesn't do his work properly, ask if there can me a fresh copy sent home for him to redo with you. Have rewards for good days, then after a few switch it to good weeks, then when that's works well good months. Still have consequences in addition to rewards. Have extra studying time at home, send him to a tutor, get counseling to see if anything is going on that no one knows about, take everything but his mattress out of his room, choose his clothes- simple jeans and a polo (loss of individuality-works better for older kids). Turn all privileges-tv, video games, play time- into a reward for good behavior. Good luck, hope it gets better.
well im not sure if this'll work cause im 14 but try saying like, if he doesnt do good in school then u'll have ground him for the summer. and if he doesnt, then ground him. soon he'll realized that it'll be a boring summer or whatever. have a private talk to the teacher for detention or something... Heres a crazy idea that im not sure itll work xD, video tape him reading good and give it to the teacher or pretend u didnt know hes reading good too and have him practice with u for a long time. he'll get bored of the lesson and get over it. Maybe just say do u want to flunk again and do all the boring stuff again? and say does he want to be a teenager still in the 1st grade with every little kids laughing at him or friends? Tell him to straighten up or that'll happen! cause one of my classmate used to flunk the 1st grade a bunch of times and now i think hes in the 4rd grade now...and hes a teenager too!
Please don't take this the wrong way, but since he's already failed the 1st grade once, & he's on the virge of failing again, I'd about think he *does* indeed need an extra boost or possibly has a learning disability. I have a 6 y.o., who just got out of 1st grade (and will move on to 2nd grade in the fall) who is reading at a 16. I have an 8 y.o., who'll start 3rd grade in the fall, & he's reading at a 33.
