Troubled Teens

Quote From: sprkhome

Saw the  show with the family with boy who was alway drunk and in trouble I was impressed with

Dr. Phil's responce I've also seen a show on Dateline with a family  who's boy had trets sydrome

and was causing all kinds of problems.  I have a teen boy with schzoeffective disorder and is very

high maintanace. One thing stand out with the TV shows and what I also have found.

SOMETIMES parents create their own "monsters"   My son may have problems but he has never been allowed to be Disrespectful or swear or be physicaly violent   being the nice guy in all things

is not what the child needs or want.  I can't count how many times I've responded to the situation in

a manner that was  not expected  and his response has been ammazing.  He want to know there are

bounderies and expations.      S

Sometimes there are simply teenagers that no matter what the consequence was, continue with the acting out, bad behavior. Maybe you could have elaborated on what your techniques were that got these amazing results? I'm sure a lot of us could use some tips here.

It all starts at home. As a parent you hold a certain responsiblity to your children. It starts when they are first born. You have to mold your child. But at the same time we are all human beings and at some point we develope out own minds and way of thinking. Never give up on your children, no matter what. Once you give birth to a child you are obligated to that child. Be an example at all times. Listen and learn.
