Question

Dear Dr Fang,

How are you? I am writing to ask for some      about how to help my 15-year-old son. At the moment, he refuses to do almost anything         his mother and I ask him to do. He is our only child and we treat him very       . Though his grandparents buy him many things, yet he is still        to them and often shouts at them. He also        to spend time with us or do as we tell him.

Recently, he has been refusing to do his homework, and instead insists on       his time listening to foreign music. I cannot understand that         , and I don’t like it. Meanwhile, he spends too much time in Internet cafes, where he either plays games         chats on the Internet. He is wasting valuable time during this          period in his life!

shall I do? I am worried about it.       I keep allowing him to do what he wants, he may fail at school, or worse. How can I help my son         hurting our feelings?

Best regards
