Dear Dr Fang,
How are you? I am writing to ask for some about how to help my 15-year-old son. At the moment, he refuses to do almost anything his mother and I ask him to do. He is our only child and we treat him very . Though his grandparents buy him many things, yet he is still to them and often shouts at them. He also to spend time with us or do as we tell him.
Recently, he has been refusing to do his homework, and instead insists on his time listening to foreign music. I cannot understand that , and I don’t like it. Meanwhile, he spends too much time in Internet cafes, where he either plays games chats on the Internet. He is wasting valuable time during this period in his life!
shall I do? I am worried about it. I keep allowing him to do what he wants, he may fail at school, or worse. How can I help my son hurting our feelings?
Best regards
Liu Zhen
