What is a tether anyway??
I have no idea where to go with ds2 who is 12, we cannot get his behaviour to improve. He is so bloody miserable and I have started umpteen posts on here asking for advice about how to deal with him. He is already seeing a behavioural therapist and the school cousellour but we are making no progress with him.
I'm fed up of grounding him and denying him priveledges because neither are working. We can't ignore the bad behaviour and just reward the good because the bad is so bloody bad. Last night he threw something bloody heavy at me (and it hit) and then tore his wardrobe door off the hinges. He is once again grounded all weekend but we have things organised and it makes it difficult for us. It's ds's school fete and he is in the inter house football and we are going to watch which means that ds1 gets an afternoon out. Same on Sunday, we are at a funday for the church for it's 90th birthday and he has to come with us then.
Has anyone been referred to these and had a good result?
Or would anyone like to buy a 12 year old boy?
