Son (12yrs) arogant behaviour
I am working with a MNC and most of the time I am forced to live away from my family,comprising of one son(12yrs) and a daughter (8yrs).My wife is also a working lady a leturar in a pesitegious institute in Mumbai(India).My son who is now becoming arogant day by day.This is not from a very long time ,this starts from the last 7 -8 months.He used to ask very new things to do accept education.He is not bad in academic but now his attention is diverting from one interest to another.For few days he ask for swimming,we provided him.He is taking training of Karate,before this he got training of Judo for 1and a1/2 yr. Now he wants to join music but his mother is not willing due to his study.
So it is also irritating me about his behaviour,he thinks that we are his enemy and not taking care his demands.I understand he is not asking much from us but,IS it a normal behaviour of this age to change his attaction to one direction to other in short spans.
Pl. give me suggestions,how we should take him for a good future.
Please.

Amtali, I would be very disappointed in my children if all they wanted to do was study, and didn't have interests and hobbies and social activities that make them a well-rounded person.
Music is actually good for math skills, btw - studies show that students who practice and are involved in music do better in math than those who don't play music. This is such a growth time for him - 1 1/2 years of Judo is a good commitment, now he wants to do something else - all of his interests are admirable and healthy that you've listed. I would encourage ALL of them, even if he tries them and decides they aren't what he wants to continue with. It's a healthy child who continues to want to try new things and experiment with different activities. All work and no play creates a very dull personality and leads to a dull, dull life.

Try not to worry too much...this sounds like typical behaviour for an adolescent of your son's age. It sounds like he is just trying to figure out what his interests are. This is a good time to help him learn that he needs to stick with the choices he makes and he needs to honor his commitments. The plus side is is that it sounds like he is a well rounded kid...goodluck!
