[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid seems chronically depressed.[/quote] Really, he sounds quite average to me. I have two middle school aged boys that can easily fall into this routine. In my mind, he's so into the hobby (screen time) that he has a "to hell with everything else" attitude.[/quote] So how do you deal with that? They have each other?[/quote] I let them fail and then take away privileges (for lying or other issues). Screen time is earned. Also, I WOTH and if things get really bad, then they will have to go to the aftercare study program. They are keenly aware. It's not a threat, we set the expectation at the beginning of the year. As & Bs = more privileges & they can be a latchkey kid for 2 hours, 3 times a week (the other two days are volunteer for service hours). Cs & Ds = aftercare (aka homework babysitter) [/quote]
