RE: Two weeks before gun season and my son is messing up in school!!
Kids, at a very early age are searching for their boundaries. Kids that have trouble are those whose parents have not set those boundaries. It's a constant battle because of outside influences, such as friends who have parents that are more liberal when it comes to discipline. I have found with my kids that it only takes one time to get the message across. If you take away a hunting trip from your son, I think that would be it. It's one trip, and sure it would be difficult for the both of you, but in the end would probably be the best. Taking away privileges of lesser significance to a kid will rarely have long term impact.
