[quote=Anonymous]Resurrecting this thread. My 11.5 yo lied about doing his home work then tried to hide the poor grades on his homework as a result of his lying, slacking off lifestyle the past two weeks.

I just discovered all of this before he left for school this morning. He's a normally a straight A student or at least capable of being a straight A student, so I'm not too worried about longterm grade consequences. However, I am worried about long term damage to the child-parent relationship because he's definitely entering the tween/teen finding his independence years.

So, my question is: How does he suffer consequences while we are on spring break next week? I mean really? Do I make everyone suffer while he sits on the plane for 3 hours with no iTouch to listen to music or watch movies, etc?

I am more pissed about the lying than the grades. Want him to realize the seriousness, but also don't want to go over board on "punishment" while we are all supposed to be relaxing and enjoying ourselves.
