What can you do when your child is out of control?
Signs your child is not headed on the right path in life, and what you can do about it.
Parents may be at their wits’ end trying to figure out what is wrong with their teens. It is very sad for parents who have done a good job parenting and had hopes and dreams for their child. To see their teen so out of control can make a parent feel so helpless, as they no longer know how to handle the child.
Get to know the types of behaviors that can signal trouble down the road:
- The teen shows no regard for family members; his or her behaviors may even put family members at risk.
- The teen is openly rebellious; he or she refuses to abide by any rules or boundaries.
- The teen shows signs of depression, which can lead to isolating behaviors.
- The teen threatens suicide or engages in self-harm.
- Even after extensive therapy, the teen only gets worse.
- The teen displays severe mood swings.
- They lose their care for the consequences of their actions, lack empathy.
- The teen mistreats animals or children.
- They are engaging in illegal actions.
- The teen is engaging in substance use.
All of these warning signs are predictive of serious problems ahead. Find a program or school that can help teach the teen to respect authority
