My son has no concept of consequences because everything is in real-time for him - immediate gratification or nothing. He is just incapable of putting aside his own needs for something later or someone else.
Thanks for the well wishes  |
I was that kid, although maybe not to the degree that your child is. I was always in trouble, caused endless difficulties for my parents and thought only of myself. Today, I'm the same person, but with my own apartment.
Seriously though, once I got to high school things started to settle down and then getting to college was like a revelation for me. Totally changed me as a person. My point mainly is that people do change, so I wouldn't give up hope, although you may have to wait a while to see the results of your labors.
