6th June 2006 , Which teenagers are at high risk for such behaviors as drug/alcohol use, dropping out of school, pregnancy, violence, depression, or suicide? One of the difficulties parents face is how to recognize the more subtle indicators of such behavioral problems and when and how to intervene. "Troubled Youth" - just what does this phrase refer to?
Every teen, no matter how perfect they may be, undergoes a troubling phase in there young adventurous life. This is an expected adolescent behavior, but should not be and excuse for defiant behavior.
In this article we will briefly discuss what a parent can do, both at home, and outside treatment to help a troubled teen. If your teen is becoming more defiant, you first ned to take a look at the rules you have laid down for him/her, and consider revising. The most common mistake parents make, isn't the making of the rules, it is the enforcing of the rules they make.
Secondly, you as parents should realize that teens are going to make mistakes. You don't have to be mad at them, rather be disappointed in them.
Strategies to work with Shyness and Withdrawal:
Teen Treatment Goals:
Preparing for Action�Support, even embrace your teen's awkwardness as a step toward mastery.
Changing Thinking�Positive vs. negative self-appraisals along with a generally optimistic outlook can do wonders.
Adolescents may find it harder to break out of withdrawn behavior than an adult because they haven't developed broad, adaptive coping skills.
Parenting Strategies and Techniques: As a teenager works on establishing their own identity there can be role confusion and independence may falter. Don't "freak out" at adolescent angst because by maintaining faith and hope, parents will some day enjoy the benefits of developmental maturity.
What truly defines a troubled teen, and when does a parent really need to seek intervention? Many parents find themselves comparing their child to other children. Parents will do best if they look at their individual situation and decide for themselves if the teenager is on a self-destructive path.
