how can you teach a 12 year old boy self-discipline?

He is a big boy. He just has no drive to do things on their own. He becomes F's in school because of not turning tasks and late work, and I do not think he cares. How can we teach him self-discipline and to have to drive to to do so on your own? He has been in baseball and did not like it cause something to lose the fun and becomes somewhat similar work, he does not like it anymore. He was in football and likes it. We have grounded him from everything. His grades improved .. are off the grounding as his grades go down again.

Maybe conversations with him about his future, ask him what he would do in the future, what kind of career he will, he will want a family, friends, etc. ..? If he answers yes to any these then ask him how he plans to get to this point. Have set some goals, they can be a little goal to begin with, involving one of his grades up. Tell him to just try it and see how it makes him feel that to set a goal, work hard to achieve it and then succeed. Talk to him about his future and life and how he has a chance to live his life, and there are many paths he can take that will lead him down different roads, and will determine what kind of life he lives. Try to explain to him that it is up to him to make good choices so he can have a good life. I talk about these things with my boys all the time when they were younger. Children do not just think this stuff on their own, they believe in the here and now. It is up to you to get him out wrapped around his future and what he wants to do with it. I think the first step, as I said, there he is small goals and try hard to achieve them. Maybe it's cleaning his room every other day own without being told. This is what self-discipline means. This means that you make good choices on their own without knowing, because you want to do the right thing and you will feel good about yourself.

BOY, A $17.96 Bright futures are undercut by dark pasts in BOY A, a quiet, ruminative tale about a violent act committed by a man in his tormented youth, and his haunting inability to find a way to have a peaceful adulthood years later. Fresh out of a 14-year prison sentence, 24-year-old Jack (Andrew Garfield) arrives in Manchester looking for a new start. He has a new name, a new job, and a carefully sealed criminal record, but an entire boyhood spent behind bars has left him permanently looking over his shoulder. Guided by his fatherly caseworker, Terry (Peter Mullan), Jack attempts to forge meaningful ties with a local girl and a chatty co-worker, but what happiness he finds is challenged when his true identity seeps (and then floods) through the cracks of his new façade. Directed with claustrophobic flair by John Crowley (INTERMISSION), BOY A unfolds in tight hallways and on narrow roads; for Jack, even in freedom, every room's a prison. As the story of Jack's new life moves forward, sharply lit flashbacks continually offer new details of his childhood crime. The backward glances work as both a compelling narrative technique and a glimpse into Jack's conscience (and the viewer's); the harsh reminder of his former self seem to play endlessly in his mind, impossible to reconcile with the gentle, introspective adult he longs to become.

Boy $9.98 From the outset, U2 went for the big message -- every song on their debut album Boy sounds huge, with oceans of processed guitars cascading around Bono's impassioned wail. It was an inspired combination of large, stadium-rock beats and post-punk textures. Without the Edge's echoed, ringing guitar, U2 would have sounded like a traditional hard rock band, since the rhythm section and Bono treat each song as an anthem. Of course, that's the charm of Boy: all of its emotions are on the surface, delivered with optimistic, youthful self-belief, yet the unusual, distinctive guitar textures give it an unexpected tension that makes it an exhilarating debut. The songs may occasionally show some weakness -- the driving "I Will Follow," the dark "An Cat Dubh," and the shimmering "The Ocean" stand out among the sonic textures -- yet the band's musical and lyrical vision keep Boy compelling until the finish. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music GuidePerformers: Bono - Guitar, Harmonica, Vocals; Adam Clayton - Bass, Guitar (Bass); The Edge - Guitar, Keyboards, Vocals; Larry Mullen, Jr. - Drums

A Boy's Control and Self Expression $31.98 1904. "Fairly considering all that I know now, what training of body and mind should I choose if I were allowed to become a boy again, and if I wanted to prevent the most serious mistakes as easily as possible and with as little attention to them as possible, so as to avoid morbidness or crankiness or priggishness?"

Boy Life and Self-Government $15.15 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III BOY LIFE AND THE RACE LIFE In all boy problems the boys themselves must first give us the cue; for after all, the Supreme Court of Boyville is the heart of the boy. The best pedagogy declares that the pupils must teach the teacher; that the children's spontaneous interests must dictate the course of study, and their voluntary attention the methods of teaching. But it was not always thus. Formerly the acme of garden beauty was the formal Italian garden, with its dinky little evergreen monstrosities, filed into weird pyramids and grim Noah's ark styles of arbor vitse. Now we see neither sense, life nor beauty in such gardens. Our foresters now follow the lines and the inclinations of nature and give us the trees in their normal symmetry, allowing each tree to work out its own salvation, according to the laws of its being, and grow up in unfettered freedom as God intended. Formerly the laws of childhood were framed by old. folks who had forgotten what boyhood was like, and were trying to makeprim little old men out of healthy boy Indians. How ludicrously pathetic are the little Amish boys, dressed in long pantaloons and old men's broad-brimmed hats, as soon as they get well out of the cradle! This is about what the average pious, well-meaning father used to try to do metaphorically with his boys, before the new day of open-minded child study. It was a long step toward heaven when fathers and mothers began to take the cue from the boy and to ask themselves why he wanted what he wanted. With divine wisdom Jesus placed the child in the midst, saying, For of such is the kingdom of heaven. Back to the child, says the modern psychologist, of him we must learn the ways of life.

Barrio Boy $17.48 Barrio Boy is the remarkable story of one boy's journey from a Mexican village so small its main street didn't have a name, to the barrio of Sacramento, California, bustling and thriving in the early decades of the twentieth century. Galarza's saga begins in Jalcocotán, a mountain village just south of where the Gulf of California joins the Pacific. When the turmoil precipitated by the Mexican Revolution begins to escalate, the family leaves their tiny village in search of safety and work in a nearby city. Subsequent moves introduce the boy to the growing turbulence of the Revolution and the uncertainties of city life. He experiences firsthand the difficulties in finding work in a strife-torn nation, securing an education, and keeping a close-knit family intact. When his family finally settles in Sacramento, young Ernesto encounters new experiences and influences that will forever shape his outlook and broaden his horizons. With vivid imagery and a rare gift for re-creating a child's sense of time and place, Galarza gives an account of the early experiences of his extraordinary life that will continue to delight readers for decades to come. "Ernesto Galarza has written a long and vivid memoir of his childhood. The only disappointment in the book is that it does not go on for another couple of volumes to recount its author's rare career in redefining America." ?The New York Review of Books "With its suspense, humor, and occasional sadness, Barrio Boy is splendid reading." ?American Anthropologist "[A] personal document where historical self-explanation, philosophical self-analysis, and poetic self-expression merge to tell with irony and humor a social story: an individual's participation in one of the grandest migrations of modern times?the influx of Mexicans into the American Southwest." ?Diacritics

Transfer Boy $38.95 Transfer Boy: Perspectives on Asperger Syndrome explores what it is like to be an adolescent with Asperger Syndrome, through interviews with Teodor, a 'psychologically unusual' thirteen-year-old.

Black Boy $13.99 Richard Wright grew up in the woods of Mississippi amid poverty, hunger, fear, and hatred. He lied, stole, and raged at those around him; at six he was a "drunkard," hanging about in taverns.

Black Boy is Richard Wright's powerful account of his journey from innocence to experience in the Jim Crow South. It is at once an unashamed confession and a profound indictment—a poignant and disturbing record of social injustice and human suffering.
