It has really been a rough school year for some kids. I know more than one struggling teen. There is so much that our kids face today. One of my son’s friends lost his mother last summer. This has been a very trying year for him. My son has had lots of garbage come down on him recently. Kids threaten each other if one is thought to have “snitched” on a wrong doing (even a crime!) One even gave up hope recently. And all this is on top of the regular pressure to perform in the area of grades, extra curricular activities and peer pressure! It is no wonder that many teens struggle and even resort to acting out. Some times they just don’t know what to do, how to act, or where to turn for help. I think the same can be said for the parent’s of teens! We all hurt when our kids struggle. At times, we don’t know what to do, how to act, or where to turn for help. We may even think putting our kid in military school is the answer! I came across a website for an alternative to help parents, and others raising children, deal with some of the ways kids react to the pressures around them. It is based on behavior modification and will likely be cheaper than military school!
