BOBS YA UNCLE

Guest
...with teachers, is defiant.? He is on his second exclusion, last time we took away his X-box, laptop etc. It didn't seem to work as he went back to school and did the same things again. We also grounded him. I have stopped his pocket money permanently until he improves and he still hasn't. He goes on Facebook and uses very bad language. He swore at his Dad the other evening during an argument. I honestly feel we have tried everything and we are at the end of our tether. (We have 2 girls aged 12 & 8 and they are wonderful, extremely well behaved, so we dont think it is anything we are doing wrong). We have threatened to send him to live with Nanna to try to scare him into changing and he now thinks we don't want him around anymore. Please can you help with any suggestions.
 
ok it sounds like you have done a lot of punishing , which is good you are disciplining him , may be when he does do something good you should let him do stuff he enjoys and when he misbehaves take it away , and if he keeps it up , stop threatening and just send him to his Nana's , good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
1 find root of problem
2 he could be finding classes difficult and you have all that peer pressure

maybe give him a little space continue to punish him and it back fires i mean your spying on looking at your kids Facebook is like reading your daughters diary or journal and swearing is expressing anger so obliviously he is angry about somthing

im 18 my mother takes the internet or my tv away i just find the stuff and nothing moves forward
 
Why is he acting out?

You aren't getting to the root of the problem, you are only punishing the side effects of the problem.

Ask him whats wrong, obviously he is acting out for a reason and you need to find out why and fix that instead of punishing him over and over again.
