My son started 7th grade, in Australia that high school, we discussed what was expected of him. We extended his bed time by an hour and gave him 1 hour of tv in the evening and set aside 1 hour for his homework. The school gave him a diary to keep his homework assignments in. In the 3 weeks since school started he has only completed a few things, either not writing them down or just lyeing about what is expected. I started by grounding him from the tv. Then toys. Then everything but books. So he started getting into things like my purfume just to make me angry I think. And today, Sunday, when I asked to see his weekend home work he had not finished it. He has nothing in his room, what could he be doing. When we packed his toys up I did not see is Gameboy and with homework not done I asked again he told me that it was packed. I told him I was going to go through all the boxes and if he was lyeing I would spank him, something I dont do, he admitted it was I his bed. So what do I do?
