He should know the value of friendship. He should also realise the value of studies, such that it motivates him to pursue his studies as he was doing earlier(until a year back he was very studious and regular). The important point he should understand is that nothing can be achieved instantly. How to wake him up early in the morning. Thanks for the Parents reply who have motivated thier children who had been in this type of situation.

How can you make someone celebrate?

Maybe by then you may have a little extra cash for him. Maybe you can take him to a favorite restaurant and allow him to bring a friend. Maybe a small family party with a few close friends would be suitable. that's generally what we have done for our teenagers. They were happy with just knowing that we remembered them on their birthdays. You don't have to go way out on a 16th birthday. Just do something that may be a bit out of the ordinary. Another thing I can suggest is if you invite close friends or family members asked that they bring a favorite food dish. That helps a lot too. These are just suggestions that worked for us. our budget has been a bit tight as well.

For his birthday you should take him to a Science Center; since your requesting help with getting him back in tune with his studies. The Toronto Science Center is awesome. Every sixteen year old would love it! Or one near you. Just You and Him. No friends to stray him. Trying to wake him up early is difficult at that age. Sixteen year old boys need alot of sleep, (some at least 10 hours) He should be in bed by 10pm. No tv. Lights off. He will say that he's not tired. Just tell him thats ok then just lay there and rest untill you fall asleep. Just be consistent. Tell him he can stay up on nights that he doesn't have school. If he is trying to achieve somthing in particular in his education it is important that you be patient, but enthusiastic. Be involved with his teachers on a monthly basis. Check and help with homework. For every A he gets on a report card, reward him with something he likes. Like a new CD or something. Tell him that you plan on doing that ahead of time. He may try harder to get the A. It's important that parents don't constantly buy their children things all the time, so when you come to reward them it really does feel special. And, they won't appreciate it if your constantly buying them things, anyway. They need to learn hard work earns rewards. Many parents make that mistake.

Hi dear...
i m not a parent so i don't know much about the same. Ya, but a less or more i can help u with this question. when i was 16, my mom use to show me my earlier photograph's and videos... she shows me myself which describes my past. by looking at my past or memorising it i always felt that i m really very dull at present than i was in my past. Those things really insist me to move towards my childhood... my childhood also contains my education... i think this is the best thing for your child... it will show your child that how perfect he is now...

This isnt a one day thing.. and if you are asking how you should hel p him celebrate, then my answer is give him some money and let him party with his friends for the day..at least thats what most 16 yr olds nowadays do

R u celebrating yr sons birthday, r u r conducting Business conference, first u decide.
Don't expect anything in return, that is real love. share with him talk to him. know his aim and ambition, motivate him.
Never Compare with any of his friends r relatives (i Hope u r doing this) if I am right, pls change yr-self.
Happy Birth Day to Yr Wonder-full Son
Good Luck>

slow down there, the things you want him to learn (while valuable life lessons) cannot be achieved overnight. and dont "make" him celebrate in any particular way. when i turned 16 it felt an awful lot like 15

birthday can be celbrated ant way..a good hotel..a nice dinner at you home so on...
but few tips for you to take care of your son...
im a student..having very loving parents...i enjoy my life ..i go to pubs..but i dont drink....i go to movies..but i dont smoke...im good at studies...i also secured a job in one of the top 2 software companies...if u think that im an undestanding guy..
i will give u few things that you should do with your sons..at all times
1)do no bug him to do things your way..make them understand what you mean..
2)every evening spare him 1 hour talk to him about various aspects..cars..bikes..2 mins for girls..5 mins for studies...etc
3)make him understand the importance of higher studies.
4)DO NOT MAKE COMPARISON WITH YOU COLLEAGUES
CHILDREN...TEENS HATE COMPARISONS..tell about people whom he knows and who did good in his studies...this motivates them but..but do not say your intentions all the time...
5)hike his pocket money by a bit for his good performance but never bring it down if he fails to fare well in his studies instead discuss with him what went wrong...
6)do not under estimate you child or talk low or bad of them in front of other people...
7) be strict occasionally....not at all time..mind you u will lose your importance to your child if you are very strict...
8)permit him some occasional late nights...this will develop his mental growth...
9)encourage him to watch news..history..business..few english movies...discourage soaps..idiotic..stuff..
10)finally be like a friend not like a boss..

Teaching and learning values is a lifelong thing, not a single event. If his values are poor, you can't fix it in one day.

pl invite all toppers in his class of study from all the schools in your town and give them your sons birthday party -
ask those boys/girls to speak to your son about study/career.
pl go for a morning walk your self and ask him to fallow you.
a father should be a role model to his son.
