Well, it stands to reason... most of the time, dumb parents raise dumb kids. It's not all genetics. |

Lots of it could be that the kid has ADHD or something. Mine is normal. He isn't hyperactive and he strives to do really well in school, etc. So maybe he's an exception. I can count on my hand how many times I've had to take privileges. Only lying and stealing are worthy of spankings in my house. I have had to do that twice. Being mostly a republican, I use money to control him. ;) From a young age I never bought him anything at the store. I figured it encouraged the "I want it" fits. I gave him money. If he did good, he got money. If he did bad, he got "fined". He did really bad he got nothing and I took something. It has been very effective. He can grasp the concept of that, and I can discuss it with him at the end of the week when he gets paid. |

Too many kids are just plopped into the ADD/ADHD category, mom/dad seek out a sympathetic therapist and bam!...kid gets sedated. --- Quote ---Being mostly a republican, I use money to control him. ;) --- End quote --- :D "Johnny, I'll divest your Halliburton options if you don't go clean your room!"
