No regrets

No matter what we do he has no problem with it. He is also ADHD not medicated (becomes a zombie). He is becoming aggressive & is extremely emotional ALL the time.

Answer
This is a common problem for ADHD kids. All the normal 12 year old punishments wont work.

The best punishment for an ADHD young teen or pre teen is actually a time out. 10 minutes sitting on a chair or standing in the corner. ADHD kids hate to be bored or stay still, but it also gives them a chance to calm down and get it back together.

One thing that has worked well for severely behaviour disorders 12 yr olds. Is to remove ALL priveldges. That means he gets No TV, no computer, no bike, no phone, no friends over, no dessert, no DVD's, no going out no anything. Insteas he needs to EARN his privledges.

The problem with a lot of teens is that they feel they are entiltied to so much. If you reward them for good behaviour it doesnt mean much because they get so much and get to do so much anyway. If you take something away it doesnt matter that much either, because they get so much else.

What you can do is set up a points system in your house. Points are awarded for good behavior. Like showing good manners, starting on homework, staying on task for each 5-10 minutes of homework, olaying with siblings without fighting, making his bed, keeping his room tidy, getting through a day at school without being sent to the principal, following instructions the first time he is told and so on. He can then exchange the points he earns in the day for privledges. Decide before hand how many points he gets for each behaviour and how many it costs to exchange them. He can use his points for all his usual daily privldges like TV time, bike riding, desserts or even save up some for bigger rewards like a trip to the movies.

This was the emphasis doesnt have to be on punishing bad behavior it can be on rewarding the behavior you want to see.

At first he will do all he can to sabotage this system and not let it work. He is doing this on purpose so that you will think that it doesnt work and stop doing it. If he refuses to behave or earn points dont worry thats his problems he just gets no provledges at all, eventually he will realise that life is no fun without them and start to cooperate.
