Most likely, you’ve reached this page because you’re looking for help for your daughter or granddaughter or even researching a variety of treatment or alternative school options for troubled teens. Whatever the reason, it’s not unusual for you to be experiencing a number of strong emotions and thoughts — desperation, anger, hopelessness, guilt or even failure. If you’re like most parents of a troubled teen, you long for a pleasant day, for a family meal without conflict, for a night without worrying. You remember the happy, smiling face of your child not too long ago and wish you could turn back time to those simpler days.

​

Another common thought you may be having is “Where did I go wrong?” This is because  parents often feel responsible for their children’s well-being and behavior. Except in the most extreme cases, however, parents can’t be held directly responsible for the behavior of their children.  Besides parenting style, many factors influence the choices a child makes: genetics and other biological factors, temperament, friends, attitudes about school, early experiences, personal beliefs and ways of processing information, and more. None of them solely determine a child’s behavior.

​

Ultimately, children will make their own choices. As much as a parent might want to choose a child’s friends, the truth is that it is done by the child. The best a parent can hope to do is influence the selection or try to control some accessibility to various people.
