Does anyone have any idea how to punish a preteen who could care less if he's grounded and has the tv/playstation taken away?

He got a guitar a few weeks ago and it is returnable up until 30 days so I am thinking that is heading back but I dont want him rebelling too much either. Any suggestions from those who've gone thru preteen heck is appreciated!

Sorry I can't help you. Can I ask what he's doing to be bad? Good luck!

it's just small things that add up and he can't seem to get out from under them.

What about something he doesn't want to do....

Or something to help others like volenteering at a local soup kitchen every Sunday for a month?
