My son wants attention...  |
|
 My son is 16yrs old. I'm not a perfect mom to say that I raised him well. He is a good son in some manners that he respect me. But sometimes he wants to get my attention by doing things that he knows is wrong. He break rules at home....

Best Of luck!

| 4. ssh123 (18249) | 3 years ago |  This is true with my son too. But then this is age, they have to be handled with care, without parents getting angry and giving out severe punishments. The thought of punishment will remain in their mind as scar and only with love and affection one should overcome this problem.

| aimsdg1024 (45) | 3 years ago | I agree with you I always remind my husband that giving too much punishment or beating teenagers will not do them good, the more they will become rebellious.I really want my son to change. I am doing my best to bring him back to school. It is one of the greatest challenge of my life.Most often I ask myself where did I go wrong? | |

| ssh123 (18249) | 3 years ago | You should foreget the past, what has happened yesterday. Think positively what you can do to better his life. Teach him meditation. Teach him a hobby. Encourage him to participate in sports etc. Things will be ok. You should never talk negative things in front of him. All the best in your endeavours and hope your problems will be solved in the days to come. | |

5.  wendy82 (401) | 3 years ago |  What is causing him to be this way? Are you spending enough time with him? Do you actually punish him when he is breaking the rules at home or do you allow him to get away from running over you? To me it is time for him to learn responsibity. So I would teach him how to be a man.

| aimsdg1024 (45) | 3 years ago | I admit that I spend less quality time with him....But I try my best to make it worthwhile when I find one.I did not punish him when he breaks rules because I believe that bitting a child will not do any good psychologically.....like when he can already tolerate the pain he will just get use to it... What I did is always to talk to him in diplomatic way and I respect him being my son... I never scold him infront of his younger brother because I also want them to repect him... | |

| 6. tholitz (895) | 3 years ago |  Maybe there is something that he wanted to tell you or someway express his disagreement with something, maybe a house rule, etc. Better to talk to him in a subtle way, and try to squeeze something out from there. I think a heart to heart talk will do it.

| 7. NewbieHelper (220) | 3 years ago |  I'm not sure that your son is any different from any other teen who has lived, is living or will ever live. Maybe he's got ideas about better rules, and so he sometimes breaks the rules. Maybe he just needs to test to see whether you care enough that you will get on top of the situation and re-affirm what the rules are.
You already said he is a good son. That's great! I hope you won't take anything as 'directly personal' too often if your son breaks the rules. I think that sometimes, rule-breaking, can show teens how to make decisions, how to face consequences from your actions. He might actually be 'learning' something by occasionally testing the 'rule' boundaries. He likely isn't meaning to just tick you off deliberately - but rather - to see what rules and situations 'fit' for him - and see how serious you are or are not about certain rules.
