My little brother is 12 and he will be 13 this month. He is very bad at school and very, very lazy. He never brushes his teeth, he never takes a shower. The only thing he does is play the Playstation.
He wasn't like that before. He used to be better at school, much more motivated than he was in elementary school. Our parents separated 3 or 4 years ago and we live alone with our father. I think that's why he's so "lazy". Our dad is pretty easy going. He used to be very strict, but not really anymore. He doesn't want to spoil my little brother's fun, which is why he lets him play so much as he wants. Does anyone know what to do?
The situation is a bit annoying. Especially when my father is angry because he doesn't do anything. But it's his own fault, isn't it?
How do I get my brother to do more? He's got a lot of tooth decay, acne, and long finger / toe nails. All because he doesn't care.
I look forward to answers
As long as your little brother can do what he wants, he won't learn.
your father should be more consistent
Right! I agree with that. But my father doesn't want to do anything. Totally stupid!
Talk to your father clearly. He is not doing his parental duty. If necessary and possible, involve your mother, you can also offer your father the prospect of this if he does not care more about your brother. What is particularly relevant is the saying: "He needs you now, he needs his father to get through this crisis, even if he doesn't notice it himself. Help him get back on the right track." I hope that this will bring his father vein back to life.
Then ask him if he really wants your little brother not to get a degree, no apprenticeship but broken teeth? Ask him if he is so indifferent to his son
I think it's puberty. Some get so lazy there. To my embarrassment, I have to admit that I was lazy there too. My brother was very much like yours. I have no idea how he still got no tooth decay and no acne.
Now he's 18 and overdoing it with cleanliness. Now he takes care of himself properly and is less lazy. That was not the case before.
If it bothers your dad, he should be more consistent.
Much depends on the father. That should at least be a role model. But another male role model can also be used, preferably one that the little one admires very much.
There's a lack of LOVE.
