[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents also need to realize that often they are a big part of the problem, even if they mean well, which is why sending the boy away to military school will help. There is too much medicalization these days of kids/teens behavior problems. I have known several people who have had serious addictions to hard drugs or alcohol and none of them got over it from “treatment” where they usually relapsed within a few months. [/quote]

Again, terrible advice.  [/quote]

So … the first poster's statement is blunt and maybe poorly said; however, there is some validity to the concept of helping a child by changing the environment.  It can be especially helpful when the adults and child are in a vicious cycle of action and reaction.  It may not be necessary though if the parents need to be capable of re-tooling themselves and their parenting techniques to stop the bad cycling.  And of course the child needs to be in a peer and social environment that is supportive of positive change.[/quote]
