My son won't get up in the morning for school....

Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support = I need help with the following issue:

My son won't get up in the morning for school. Today he got in at 11.15 and it should have started at 8. I take him a cup of tea and go back every 4 minutes but he just lies there and tells me to 'stop it'. Today I took away his guitar and that seemed to get him out of bed. Any suggestions? Thanks. Tim.

Maybe if you sit him down and tell him you understand how hard school is but he has to think about his future. If he has any interest or direction he wants to take in life you might talk to him about those and how hard his life will be if he doesn't get an education.

When mine don't get out of bed, I spray them w/water in a spray bottle. They get up real quick and if I come again they get it continually till they are up. It works every time.
