My son is fourteen and very imm?

Question

My son is nearly fourteen and is very immature for his age. His main problem is that he is extremely annoying and aggrevating to the point where I only take him certain places so that I dont feel embarassed or uncomfortable

Answer 1

I have 4 kids ages 13-9 and know what you mean, but you need to add more details in order to give you any decent advice. Are you a single parent? is his dad in the picture? etc etc would help.

This is a good question and I am sure lots of us could help you so please add more details...Good Luck

Answer 2

I cant see why you have categorised your question as newborns&babys if hes forteen it should go into the teens section youd get more helpful advice there with other parents of kids the same age alot here are new parents!

By the way give him a brake hes only a kid 14 isnt a mature age anyway 16 and yeah id think more of it hes just living a normal childhood.

Answer 3

All boys mature slower than girls. It's a biological fact that once they pass the elementary school level they remain 3-4 years behind their mental age while girls progress normally. This is common among boys and men. If he is 14 then he is acting 11, when he will be 21 he will act 18.

Answer 4

well fourteen is immature. He is probably just being a typical teenager, slovenly, embarrassing, unco-operative. Think "Kevin The Teenager" on the Harry Enfield show ... give it a couple of years and he may grow out of it. Or threaten to take some video footage of him at his worst now, and say you will show it to his future girlfriends. That might make him behave!

Answer 5

Deprive him of all luxury items. Remove them from his room and tell him straight that unless he starts to behave better he will not get them back. If necessary tell him you will strip his room and leave only a handful of books. Don't buy him anything other than basic needs. Ground him permanently until his behaviour improves. Let him read this answer and tell him you are the boss, he is the child and he will follow your rules. Put your foot down hard or it will be too late.

Answer 6

I have a grandson about that age and he always has to have the last word. He will also argue constantly, even about things he knows nothing about. I can only assume it's an age thing. Take heart they get worse with age lol. But you can't help but love them

Answer 7

try your best to let him know calmly and the Nice's way possible the truth and if she does not Change maybe he is suffering from confusion about puberty, and the new changes his body is going through, ADD or something else like need for acting out for attention. take him to the doctor and together u and the doctor will find out why he is going through this. Best of wishes and try ur best too be strong!

Answer 8

I'm sorry to say but lots of boys are like that at 13, they can't help it much really, hormones they don't understand rush through their blood, and make them do and say things, they may regret the second they say them, but will never back down and admit it straight away out of pride.

most grow up,

and to all the confused 13 year old boys. try not to be too hard on your folks, make your life easier. they don't understand your mood swings anymore than you do

Answer 9

Have you really discussed this with him? Sat him down and told you what you expect of him? Try talking about acceptable and unacceptable behaviours. If it doesn't get through to him, he may have some type of behavioural or developmental disorder. Depending on his responses, he may need to be evaluated by a counselor. Good luck.

Answer 10

well, this may seem kinda obvious, but you really need to discuss this with your son. my mom doesn't always discuss thing with me, and when she gets mad, everything wrong that I've been doing bursts out in my face. its not exactly pleasant. i think ur son will understand. it may be that he just wants some attention.
if he has been having social problems at school, that would explain alot. its a difficult age for boys.
