do they do their homework, always tardy to class, skip classes several times a week, refuse to wake up for school.

I’ve been very concerned, frustrated, upset, confused and frankly at a loss. I’ve tried taking just about everything away but it doesn’t seem to help.

I’ve considered taking it old school and just beating the boys but decided that wont likely help at all so that’s no longer on the table.

I’d rather not get them on meds at such young ages either. Having family members who are addicts/substance abusers — I’d prefer to not get my boys on that path.
