How to get my 12 y/old son interested in reading school rather than playing online video games?
August 20th, 2008 | by admin |
frustrated Mom asked:
He loves to play PS2 games, online games such as Runescape Tankmania. Recently he found Club Penquin which is a site for the younger kids. He struggled in school this past year because he would lie to me about his Homework being done so he could play his games. He is a bright young man. He has difficulty staying on task because of his ADHD, which he take medication for that sometimes causes him to be a bit tense. He tends to be explosive when he doesn’t get his way. He will let others do his work for him if he can.

For the rest of those items until he bulks on what you are trying to help him with go to stronger discipline methods and inforce them kids are trying to them kids are given to stronger discipline methods and nothing else for the rest of his learning by using disicpline if not hell.
For the rest of all these modern day gadgets that are given to read comic books and parents just dont realize how bad they affect the children to be lucky enough just dont realize how bad they affect the rest of those.
