How do i get threw to my teenage son about school?

Being a teenage male, it usually means he has raging hormones. Get through to him that if he gets to college, there'll be many beautiful college ladies. Furthermore, women like men who are smart and rich. That means, you have to do well in school and get a degree before any women are attracted to you.





If that reasoning doesn't work out, then you're going to have to get more stern with your approach!How do i get threw to my teenage son about school?
I would start by praising him when he does something right. Right now, you see the negative and not the positive about your son. Talk to him in a casual manner instead of being authoritative. Example is when you are asking him how his day went. Instead of asking; ';How is school and how are you?'; Ask this way; ';Hey, how is school, how did it go today? Hope all is good and if not, I'm here.'; Not everyone can speak to their kids, but at least you are trying and you care. It's not that you can't get through to your son, it's your son that can't get through to you. Open up and make him feel comfortable talking to you. It's much easier if he can come to you whenever he needs you, than you keep trying.How do i get threw to my teenage son about school?
tell him not to be like you. tell him to learn proper grammer and the English language.
You must love your son very much. Good for you! I hope you get a lot of good ideas and input from other parents. Let your son know just how much you love and care about him. That if you didn't then you wouldn't care how he does in school.





Ask him what he doesn't like about school? Listen to what he has to say. This may give you some insight into how to show him how important school is. Are there any famous people (sports figures) he admires who completed high school and went to college? You could look them up on line and possibly find their views on education. Start a dialog with him. I know your first instinct is to yell, throttle him, but these tactics will only push him further from school, make him more resistant and stubborn.





Once you've listened to his side of the story. Then tell him yours. Have a discussion with him. See if the 2 of you can come up with some guidelines for him to follow regarding going to school and doing his homework. Perhaps the carrot and stick approach will work. If there's something major he wants, give him a goal to shoot for like bringing each of his grades up 5 points by the time he gets his next report card. Reward him with something he wants. Maybe not something big for this one. Then, if he can get his most of his grades up, say 10 points by the end of the school year he'll get a bigger reward.





Once the rules/guidelines are established, write them down and both of you sign them. Have realistic consequences if he breaks the contract. Be as consistent as possible. Tell him school is his job and the basis for much of the rest of his life.





It's definitely tougher being the parent of a teenager these days. There are more and more distractions for them. Even more than when my boys were growing up during the 1980s and '90s. I hope you and your son can come to terms.





God Bless!
Send him to Catholic school.
