my son doesn’t want to go to school tomorrow - what should I do?

Take the day off and go have fun with your son.

rocker

12/4/19 10:01pm

That’s what you do when he’s 8. At 12, he probably should learn to handle it.

Do you have a 12+ year old boy?

Division Bell

I don’t. But I’ve worked at DCFS and in adolescent psych units.

That's good. Sincerely.

Until the official "How to be a parent" manual comes out, I don't mind advice.

IOW, every child is unique.

I believe we adapt correct principles with each child but that shouldn't mean we abandon the principle.

Toughen him up and get him started on making more money than those bullies.

Unfortunately I watched as my Ute friends ridiculed BYU kids. Part of my change.

Of course there is razzing. Never heard of actual bullying that makes kids not want to go to school. Seems like an

Never heard of?

Apparently correct. With how anti-bullying schools are, I’d be surprised if it was really that bad.

I bet they ignore sports based bullying

This is the right answer or teach him to ignore bullies. The best thing a kid can learn is to not let the actions

I don't blame the son for wanting to but I would blame a parent for letting him.
