Answer 1

I really don't understand your question. Please write it again for us.

Answer 2

You need to have more discipline. It can be grounding, naughty chair for 10 minutes, loss of a special event or at his age 10 spanks with the hand on the skin of his bottom, each and every time.

You need to get in control now.

I have 5 and that's what works well here for such.

Answer 3

Spank his ***!

Answer 4

A lot of kids forget their self control skills when they are hooked on a new video game.  Could he be upset he isn't getting more time on his Wii, nintendo DS, or computer, it's becoming quite addictive.

He should take a time out in his room to think, tell him he needs "me time" to mature.  He won't sit in a corner at 10 and he might come out of his room at first, so tell him stay in there for 10 minutes (a minute for every year of age).  If he comes out he should be warned, in a nice tone, he'll get another 5 minutes.  He could be told to just relax on his bed and to feel lucky he doesn't have to clean it.  Then he won't be more pissed off.

Also, he could be going through a growth spurt and needs more snacks.  Snacks are a must right after school (before doing homework)...dinner should be early so there's time for another snack at 8pm (not to close to bed time).  Then those "witching hour" cranky times are avoided.

Answer 5

So?  What is it to you?

Answer 6

well my friends son does that too there not use to lots of home work so lay off him and let him be

Answer 7

How will he act at 15? His parents need to give him a good spankin!! Parents today let there kids get out of control. They need to start with good discipline when they are little.

I would think that he back talks his parents also. Being firm and consitant is what they have to do always.

Answer 8

When my stepdaughter was 9 she went through a phase where she would have 2 year old temper tantrums whenever we asked her to do her homework or told her to stop playing video games and start doing something constructive. Finally I had had enough after one very bad tantrum that resulted in throwing things, flinging herself on the floor and screaming bloody murder. I told her that if she wanted to act like a baby then I would treat her like one. I left her on the floor, and took her TV out of her room, took a way all the videogames, and then filled the tub, picked her up, undressed her, bathed her, redressed her in her pj's and put her to bed. This was at 6:30pm I told her that she would be going to bed directly after dinner for the next 3 nights. I then put my son's baby monitor in her room and told her that if I heard so much as a peep out of her that we would repeat the same process the next weekend. It only took one weekend of this treatment to stop the tantrums cold. She even stopped throwing them when she went to her mom's. Give it a try, it works. There is nothing more that "big" kids hate than being treated like a baby.
