My son got admitted in VIT Bhopal and residing in hostel there but in just one week he is reluctent to continue. He is not giving any valid reason, just complaining food, light, wifi and faculty. He is unconsolable since last two days not ready to listen and complaining mental health. Should we counsel him or withdraw and get admission in Delhi NCR. Appreciate your early response. Best Regards, SK

Ans: Khursheed Respected Sir, Did you force him to join, or did he voluntarily join the branch of his wish? For certain pupils, the atmosphere of certain colleges may not be appropriate. Make an effort to reassure him that no college is flawless. Please find out what other possibilities he chooses for his education (apart from staying at VIT-Bhopal) if he declines to proceed. Encourage him to make a choice and follow him to the college of his choice (if seats are available). Additionally, let him know that since practically all colleges have begun their current semester, he cannot continue to make changes to his options. Make the best choice as soon as you can. Best Wishes for Your Son's Prosperous Future.

Dear Aruna, My child is 16.5 year old and is in 12th Standard. He wanted to pursue JEE and hence we got him admitted to a school who has integrated program where along with CBSE they impart JEE training as well. They also had a hostel facility. We had shifted him to this hostel during his 11th after lot of thinking as he used to waste lot of time gaming and hanging around with his friends...he had got 78% in his 11th and this was because he stayed in the hostel. Now he is saying that he will not go back to the hostel at all and prepare at home. But he does not seem to be serious at all...he has been gaming, hanging around with his friends etc.When asked about all this he says that he is well ware and will do the needful..Off late he started saying that he is not interested in doing JEE and make basket ball as his career...we as parents are very confused...I even have fights with my son because of this...Please advise what needs to be done. I would like that he rejoins hostel as this would make him disciplined and responsible...It is important that he completes his 12th standard with good marks and i feel that staying back home is not going to help at all. he is intelligent and teachers appreciate him a alot..he is also talented but is wasting lots of time...he says that he knows everything and no one need to tell him anything. Whenever he hears abt hostel he gets irritated. This hostel does not allow mobile phones or any electronic gadgets at all.
Ans: As the child is an adolescent and he knows well about the repercussions since he is as intelligent child. You can make the child write down the number of hours he used , let it be as a visual for him on paper. Make a excel sheet for him and ask him to write on this the number of hours being spent on the mobile or gadget each day for next 5 days.

You can also reduce your time incase you spend on gadget and start spending time in the form of games, going out for walks together ( an alternative for not being sent to the hostel)
See that when you are reducing any behaviour, give him a equally reinforcing activity to get the same behaviour down.
