So, after struggling with missing assignments and hidden "reflection papers" which are what happens when you act up in school LAST week, we get an email from the teacher today about a problem on Friday.
Called another student a "Bitch", apparently.
HOWEVER, he decides that he needs to write a reflection paper about calling someone "the A word"
SO- which was it?
After having what seemed to be an upward trend in making good decisions, the last 2 weeks have been the opposite, obviously.
Since I have committed myself to not YELLING at the child, I calmly discussed with him that he is on grounding until the end of the school year (3 weeks) and that he can earn back privileges. Like clothes.
I chose 5 outfits for the boy- collared polo shirts and nice shorts. These are his school clothes. I also chose 4 school spirit shirts which are his play clothes. The rest are put away. Along with all his toys, electronics, etc.
Do you have a creative way to let your child know that his behavior will have consequences? Or have you seen someone else who appears to do well in this regard? It's tough for us because the girl child does not have these issues, and we are trying so hard to support the boy child.
Recycle bin- not put out, still on the street after I put it out.
