Do you not even recognize your child anymore? I’m not asking if they’ve aged; I mean has their attitude changed so much that you don’t even recognize who they are anymore? Perhaps they’re doing drugs or drinking. Maybe they’re having unsafe sex or they’ve even joined a gang. In some cases, it may mean nothing more than the fact that your child has just become withdrawn and you’re afraid they’re up to no good (not that they’ll give you a straight answer). What’s a parent to do in such a case?
Whatever you do, don’t give up. There are options other than turning a blind eye, which is risky. For example, you could send them to a boys boarding school. There, they’ll be far away from any troubles back home and under constant supervision. Plus, they’ll still be going through school and studying. So once they’re better, they won’t have to go back and do a year over.
Another option that is similar are wilderness therapy programs. These too remove the kid from troublesome environments and will teach them discipline, respect and self-reliance like never before. You’ll be amazed what can be done!
