Enroll them in a state-aided military school and come back for them in five years.

@Drlover1 I sent my two children to a military school in Bosnia, it was the best decision I made.

Counselling could really help to deal with the anger issues which likely stem from the divorce. Unconditional love goes a long way too

@Jenny1234 disagree vehemetly. Girls need to talk. Boys need action.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@Tatsumi2 hope you don’t have boys
Tatsumi2 · 31-35, M
@Jenny1234 Don't worry. I made sure no children will spawn from my genes

Boys need a father. We're wild, rowdy, rambunctious typically. Without a stern force, its been shown that boys dont do well without a father. 80% of the men in prison came from single-mother homes. Girls show to be fine. Puberty is an importat time.

The problem is exactly that. The mothers job is to create the safest, most pure,loving environmet for the kids up to puberty, and that's super important for healthy development, but once the boys start popping off the testosterone, more sternness is required. Coddling would be the worst thing you can do, so typically this is when the father needs to take over to keep them in line.

Boys have aggressive energy that needs to be drained, otherwise it's like filling a water balloon with water. Eventually that shit is popping and people are also getting popped in the nose.

Athletics, and specifically combat sports will give them a group of males that can deal with their shit and help reign them in, along with teaching them how to defend themselves, and discipline, and humility in getting their asses kicked.

Point is: find a physical hobby for them that will drain their energy, give them discipline, and preferably in a male group with good, healthy, strong male role models they can mirror. Otherwise, they will find bad male role models to mirror.

@Tatsumi2 this answer freaked me out, but still useful
Tatsumi2 · 31-35, M

Make one the boss and give them both a lot of responsibilities and create some fun routines like pizza/movie night or something. Will need work, but sooner you start the better.

I find approaching him in a gentle manner may help ...my son is 15 and I found that just talking to him about things that matter to.him and building up to things that needed to be discussed really helped ...letting him know that I will always be there for him to talk and listen to helped as well ...reassuring him that I love him no matter what helps as well ....if that doesn't help ..setting up a meeting with school to talk through these issues may help too ..
Also maybe him seeing a therapist may help him too .
.good luck ..it's tough ! I know this too

Boys tend to show more anger when things just don't make sense. The divorce and the onset of puberty can be emphasizing this anger. Boys need a male figure to look up to. Without a male figure, you need to show them love, care and understanding. You need to be strong and make it known the you are still in charge. Boys near puberty age need privacy and room to explore these new feelings and desires. Be strong, but understanding with them. Patient, but not a push over.
Best of luck to you and your boys

If your child is a fighter, take him to traditional martial arts classes to teach him about values and self-control. This will keep his energy focused on activities that help him develop his body, mind and spirit. Also make sure that in that school the teacher can teach him good values about discipline, self-control and respect.

Just listen to him and eventually he will start trusting you with everything....dont say much

You should have a chat with a family therapist, in your country. Not being flippant, but it's very important to understand their culture, else you will be getting bad advice.
Lackwittyname · 51-55, M
You really have to talk to him, find out what is going on, which might be too hard at this point if you do not have that kind of relationship already. He is acting out for some reason, have to get to the bottom of that.
Shallowaters · 36-40, M
Well being a single parent and a mother u should have a open talk. Why do we ourselves consider this topic as a taboo. Once u consider this is a normal subject u can easily make them understand
MrsMONAKanful · 36-40, F
They are boys they are going to get into a lot of fights just talk to them if you can be patient and try to understand them it won’t be easy though
thenormalkindofcrazy · 31-35, M
Sounds like they need an outlet. Just like adults, no two kids are the same, so maybe try to find one. If they have an interest, encourage it.
Tell him that he shouldn’t start the fights, he needs to end them. Basically don’t start a fight but defend yourself if need be

Is their father out of their lives?
gdon39 · 41-45, M
@salwa That is unfortunate about their father's lack of parental responsibility. My dad was never there while I was growing up.

When I became secure in my professional life I became a Big Brother in the Big Brothers and Sister program and had a five-year relationship with my Little it was rewarding for me and had an enormous impact on my little.

Perhaps you could look into that program.
salwa · F
@gdon39 I am afraid this program may not available her in Egypt
gdon39 · 41-45, M
@salwa That is too bad. Best of luck to you.

Don't handle your boys. That's weird!
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
Hormones, they are quite a thing.
Convivial · 26-30, F
Depends on the frequency and intensity of the fights... To an extent it's normal, it's a phase as they grow
This is when they need a strong male figure to teach them how to be a man.
eMortal · M
This SW. I’m surprised no one advised spanking!!! 😂
That’s good though. SW is evolving!
Maybe they're acting out. Do you spend enough time with them?
salwa · F
@Spoiledbrat Yes they are my world
he could benefit from a father figure
salwa · F
