Please help me with my 13 year olds attitude and complete lack of respect!
6 times this school year he has been to the school nurse telling her he has been sick (she has never actually seen him do this) . They send him home and there is never anything wrong with him. We have talked at length and he assures me there are no problems - in fact he told his teachers at parents evening how much he loves school !
Well he did it again today . I came in from work to find him watching tv and playing in his lap top. After talking he admitted that he had made the sickness up (again). Took laptop away and spoke to him. He has absolutely no remorse , says it does not matter that he misses school.
What sanctions should I impose ? He doesn't go out much as he says its boring and cold so grounding is pointless. Whatever is suggested he just shrugs off . He does not accept any responsibility for his actions and its driving me mad !!! And he is so rude when he talks to me !! ( not all the time though - just when confronted about something he has done wrong)
Any help greatly appreciated !!!
