How do you discipline a 7 year old boy who just doesn't care about consequences for his actions? He constantly gets in trouble at school, such as knocking a book out of someone's hands, throwing a kids jacket in the mud, (he thinks it's funny), etc. His teacher has even made a journal for his daily behavior. He is NOT my child but my boyfriend's, I'm at my wit's end... He listens better to me than to his own parents but I feel they need to do the disiplining and not rely on me.
We have tried many approaches such as...
Time outs (he will sit there all day if he had to)
Taking away privilages (T.V., video games, etc.)
Writing sentences (100, 200, etc)
Going to bed early,
you name it...
he just doesn't care beyond getting a whoopping.
I believe he has classic symptoms of ADD or ADHD...
