[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did he leave a faucet running and flood something? [/quote] OP here. Prefer not to be specific for privacy reasons, but something along these lines--[b]it was a case of forgetting [/b]something--again, in a situation where under no uncertain terms he knew he had to be responsible about it. [/quote] 12 year old boys forget very easily. My pediatrician told me that boys brains are just a mess around ages 9-15 or so, lots of misfiring synapsis - which is why many boys in that age range show signs of ticks (which can be associated with tourettes), but that the majority of boys grow out of it. I don't think your 12 year old son should be responsible for any activity that has that large a consequence if he forgets to do it. Try having him take out the garbage and being responsible for pets, homework & activities. That's enough to think about![/quote]
