[quote=Anonymous]Remember all the great stuff you've done can go out the window if your teen develops mental health problems or a medical problem (a concussion can put a kid off the rails big time). Learning validation and practicing it helped me a lot here for coping but you still will be dealing with a lot of dysfunction. Strictly limit access to cash--get them a debit card or similar. The only thing a kid needs access to cash for is drugs. And make sure they have access to just enough money to pay for their immediate needs. If at all possible, arrange your work hours so a parent is home when school or other activities get out. The most dangerous hours are those in the late afternoon.[/quote]
