It is funny that just about everything you try for a difficult kid is considered abuse these days and equally as funny that the same complainers complain about said difficult kid.

That is actually considered as abuse. Here child welfare will pound on your door. The best way of dealing with a difficult kid is to get them involved in different programs that will be beneficial and also to involve outside agencies like counseling groups and child welfare. They will help you with your difficult teen. Sometimes getting the courts involved helps as the courts will make an order for the teen to follow and will explain the consequences for breaking the order. I have involved the outside agencies when it came to my son. They helped me out and he is now a really good kid. We are still working on him to become even more responsible so he can survive when he moves out. It takes a lot of patience and reasoning and at times asking different agencies to help you out is the best thing you can do. It may seem harsh to call child welfare on your own kid but they're there to help if they can not to rip the family apart.

I think that for extremely bad behaviour it could be an option, it is something that would have to be considered carefully with the approval of an expert, it has been shown to be effective, if it teaches self respect and gives some disipline. It should be remembered that every child is different and that this harsh treatment could cause more harm than good.

I stayed in a foster home one time...just once that is all it took for me...my friend was upstairs and going through everything you just put on here...actually they took all her clothes away so she would not hurt herself or run away...however she managed to make a makeshift gone out of a sheet and got out the window...it was crazy...but it did work she got some help and learned respect....it is not abuse if they are feeding you clothing you and you have a place to live...abuse is beating hitting emotional abuse towards another...
