How To Get My 12 Y/old Son Interested In Reading & School Rather Than Playing Online & Video Games?

He loves to play PS2 games, online games such as Runescape & Tankmania. Recently he found Club Penquin which is a site for the younger kids. He struggled in school this past year because he would lie to me about his Homework being done so he could play his games. He is a bright young man. He has difficulty staying on task because of his ADHD, which he take medication for that sometimes causes him to be a bit tense. He tends to be explosive when he doesn't get his way. He will let others do his work for him if he can.

I'm a 22 yr old youth worker, i usually deal with young people with challenging behaviours... you need to take luxuries away from him but also let him have his play time. you should build a rapport with your son before setting boundaries, a rapport also builds trust, with trust there is respect with respect there is discipline. also understand that there is probably a lot more about your son that you haven't yet learnt.

Turn off the cable and pretend you don't have money to pay for it, then while he's asleep break a replaceable part to his PS2, then claim there is no money to fix it. Once you have done this, things might get better, you'll be able to take it from there.

When he learns schooling is first then free time is last he will eventually change, but not before he gives you a hard time internet poker book. Just stick with your terms and do not back down games com. You will be happier and he will to one day.
