Sometimes, I find it difficult to decide what is right. I don't know whether I should be lenient or strict with my son. My son promised he wouldn't use his cellphone if he got bad marks. But when he did get bad marks and I confiscated the phone, he became angry. Now we feel disconnected. Before this, I had once returned his phone in return for a promise to pay attention to his studies. But that also failed. He just kept on scrolling and playing games. He is not addicted to games or anything. He just finds it hard to establish good study habits. I am at a loss what to do. If he is not addicted to games, then what is he trying to overcome? There are many possibilities. He might find the homework boring. He might find it too difficult. He may have fallen behind. You need to find the cause before you can decide what needs to be done. Being strict can only work if what you want him to do is possible for him.
