My lovely DS 11 has just started secondary and is trying to find his way. He’s doing well & getting lots of achievement points & no behaviour points and here’s the issue.
Apparently a lot of the kids in his class use behaviour points as a badge of honour- not doing homework etc & use the term ‘goody 2 shoes’ for kids that have no behaviour points.
So to fit in my DS said he has behaviour points when he doesn’t & is now really upset with himself because he lied- especially because he’s worried his mates will find out.
Aibu to ask how you would deal with this? On the one hand, I am proud of him for recognising that lying makes him feel uncomfortable & I know he’s just trying to fit in. But on the other hand I don’t want him to feel like he needs to lie, be anything other than himself and that having no behaviour points is actually a good thing- he’s a kid that always wants to behave well.
I have never had to deal with this sort of stuff before & finding it hard to navigate
