[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]re boarding school, when my 15 y.o. was 13 she was so difficult, and I started to think about boarding school but I didn't know how to get her to take her ISEE again or how to get her to go!  Not like I could throw her on the bus!

At one point, she had taken off after dark; thank goodness for the 'find my iphone' feature).  I was in this dark park with her, and calmly told her she cannot run off at night like that, but I get it, she felt trapped, and I didn't want her to feel trapped. I told her I wasn't normally a fan of boarding school, but it was clear that I wasn't cutting it, so it would be something we could consider so she didn't feel trapped.

Anyways we worked on it and it's much better now; I think reminding a teen (and ourselves!) that it's not forever, and letting a teen feel they are not trapped, helps.

And that book, "yes your teen is crazy!" best DCUM rec ever.[/quote]

There are employees who come from a boarding school to pick up the non-compliant teen... [/quote]

OMG do not send your kid to one of those places. She’ll come out crazier and more rebellious than ever.[/quote]
