Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi My son (12) and I are spending a lot of time annoyed with eachother lately. I need some advice on how to change it. We are at an impass.. We homeschool so to him I am an eternal " nag " I have tried charts,schedules (with his input) rewards, incentives, punishments. role playing, just plain ole talking, arguing, not talking, ignoring and I am just out of ideas. The things we are having trouble with are *bedtime (mild) *getting motivated for school work *Personaly hygiene is a HUGE issue *Also, he has full braces and needs to floss, use a water pik, brush and do a special rinse because he gets swollen gums very quickly and easily; *He argues about taking a shower and washing his hair. He CAN do these (except for the flossing, which i do for him) he just wants to play on the computer (which frustrates him because he gets competitive) read or watch tv or hang out with his best friend. Sooo any ideas would be great.. Allie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
