I'm become a prolific poster on this board as I have entered the teen territory 😬
my son has consistent low-level behaviour at since since year 7. I get calls from school / bad notes in the diary/ emails / detentions.
i have had meetings with year head who has had a chat to my son and trying to help him. I give my son sanctions and bans from PC for detentions and bad notes (I wasn't doing that before) but it's not working. I give praise when he gets good notes.
i am finding it hard I am so worried he is going to mess up his education.
what more can I really do!!!
do I give extended ban on his PC as usually it's just for the evening.
i feel totally lost in all this.
any wise words welcome.
thanks

Thanks all
he finds really boring but clearly that is no excuse.
he has given up football and currently has no hobbies and I cannot get him to do any
he loves his PC!!

@mamaduckbone
glad your older son did well, I like these positive stories!
soery to hear about your year 8 - some of my friends sons year 8 arnt happy, I am wondering if it's to do with lockdown in year 6 and most of 7, it can't have helped!
my son's first day back to school today and he faked feeling sick 😬
