[quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, junior year was difficult for us as well. At least your child isn’t rebelling by doing drugs and other similar behavior. The only advice I have for you is to call out unacceptable behavior. Identify specific behavior that is unacceptable and let them know that consequences in the real world are less forgiving. Remember they are learning how to deal with emotion and challenges that many adults never master. I can’t count how many times I had to say, “you cannot treat people this way” remind them they are better than the behavior you object to. It will not have an immediate impact but over time hopefully it will resonate. When emotions are not high I found asking my DC what alternative options he thought might be effective to those I objected to. While not perfect, there are times he is certainly better at identifying and modifying behavior. It helps to remember that I’m not perfect either. [/quote]
