My DP has asked me to post on here as he is looking for help. He has a 13 year old DS who is in the top sets at his local comp, but not doing as well as he could because he is larking around. If he is badly behaved at school he gets a 'bad mark put in his diary' by the teacher. This week so far - 4 bad marks. We have tried stopping pocket money as a punishment, as well as the incentive of a meal out at his favourite restaurant if he has a good month. Nothing seems to be working. Can anyone please gives us any insights/ideas to help us deal with this and stop him disrupting lessons and his education?
