[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s been making some bad choices (nothing that affects anyone other than him).

It’s been awhile since I’ve looked at electronic restrictions and we are not tech savvy.

He needs to be able to text parents (to coordinate drives to/from school).

Other than that, how do we prevent access to the phone, MacBook and home computer (computer is needed for school but we don’t want him to use it for anything else).

Do we need to buy a nonsmart phone?

There’s also another kid in the household who will still be allowed to maintain his devices.

Guys, what else is an appropriate consequence? He was looking up answers to homework and lied about it.

I love him to pieces; he has many good traits but he has always been prone to take the easy path (lazy when he doesn’t care about what he’s doing) and has always tried to lie his way out of trouble.

I honestly don’t think anything we do is going to get it through his head so he really understands the gravity of lying to cover up a problem. Over the years we’ve discussed integrity & morality, potential outside consequences like being kicked out of school/fired by a job, trouble with college applications; we’ve talked about the hit to reputation and credibility.

Any advice?[/quote]
Sorry, forgot to mention, he’s got ADHD (very low impulse control), dyscalculia, dysgraphia, a charming personality and an unfortunate penchant to view the classroom as an audience awaiting his comedic performance. [/quote]
