Specifically around phone/laptop usage. We take electronics off him at night.
So far since Christmas he has hidden an old phone under his mattress , sneaked an old laptop in, handed a calculator/old phone in instead of his actual phone. So basically barefaced lying on at least 4 occasions and has just done it again tonight. 🤯
Stressful times as GCSE year and he’s struggled massively in lockdown with motivation/becoming withdrawn. He’s back at school this week thank God! It’s been hard for him (he was worried after doing so little in lockdown) but he seems to be doing a bit better.
It’s the lying that gets me. I just told him I’m disappointed and that I’ll need to think of consequences. Reduce his data/confiscate his electronics for part of the weekend. Unfortunately he needs his laptop to study.
Any advice? Thanks.
