[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 413640, member: 1991"] Stop trying to force him - you've already found it doesn't work. Instead, be like the door he is slamming his weight against tat suddenly opens. When you stop pressuring him he will stop resisting so hard. He has to own his responsibilities and the sooner he realises this, the sooner he will have a chance to turn tis around. If you can successfully drive him to do his work this year, then he will simply be more resistant next year, as well as another year older and closer to independence. A book we recommend here for this sort of behaviour management - "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It helps you get what you want form your child, by letting the child take control (and responsibility) for his own decisions. Welcome. Sorry you need us but glad we'e here. Marg [/QUOTE]
