Not pulling weight at the start of gcse course

[surreysnapper]

poor test results
procrastinates a lot and of course phone is an issue

thinking thru consequences..... obviously phone will be confiscated for a while. what else?

How close to 15yo is this?

Don’t just confiscate the phone for a while, make it a regular thing - phone stays in kitchen while doing homework, phone plugged in downstairs when in bed.

Phones can be horribly addictive and some kids really need help in regulating usage, especially if it is affecting school work.
