Any suggestions for a 18 year old boy?

John Revaa · Newbie

This kind of behavior is normal in teenagers at this age and it is very important that you had identified the issues in him and I have seen most of the parents are not able to identify a new kind of behavior and results deep problems with in no time.

As dealing with todays teenagers is not an easiest thing, it needs to be planned accordingly under certified specialist's guidance for better parenting.

Taking a specialist educational counselor help will make your son to come out of problems in a healthy way, these counselors have years of experience in dealing with troubled teens with result oriented methods.

There may be lots of reasons why your son's been acting that way. The only way to know what's wrong is to ask him about it, communication can be very important. As a parent we shouldn't just get angry right away if our children are not doing well in school or has been in trouble. Try to figure out the causes of these actions because you might not know, you yourselves are your kid's problems. Finding out what's wrong as early as possible is essential so that your son doesn't end up with the worst behavior which could already be uncontrollable. An extended help in a residential treatment facility or a therapeutic boarding school might be needed by then. Make sure it wouldn't reach that point. I wish you the best.

Discuss things with your teen. Troubled teens can really take a lot out of parents but it would be very helpful if parents made it clear that the lines of communication should always be open at home. Provide your teen with many opportunities to approach you and talk. Have family dinners at home and engage your teen in conversation. Instead of lecturing them, discuss things with them and listen to what they have to say. More than anything else, teens need to feel that they are safe and respected at home.

In addition, remember to stay the course when meting out discipline. Your troubled teenager knows what to expect. You can’t appear wishy-washy. Also, don’t go overboard. Severe discipline is unnecessary as well as unproductive. Time-outs or restrictions on privileges like TV, car or cell phones will often do the trick. Calmly remind your teen this reprimand was hashed out by both of you, and is to be expected.
