I Dont Know What Is Wrong But I Need Help With My Son
Written by Wendy Henderson, Posted on , in Section Teens & Tweens
One of the most difficult parts of seeking out treatment for a child is understanding exactly what issues they are dealing with. Many parents will feel both desperate and confused, as they want to help but are unsure of the best way to continue forward. If you are in this situation, it is important to remember that the first step towards recovery is an accurate diagnoses. Once you have a clear idea of the problems that are being experienced, you can act with confidence to find the best help possible. Unfortunately, many individuals in this situation will be struck with indecision. It is incredibly hard to act decisively when standing on unknown ground.
Struggling To Gain Understanding
It is this process of coming to an understanding of the problems that are being faced which is often the most difficult aspect of the recovery process. Parents may be unsure who to trust and what information to believe. This can be further complicated by a teen's unwillingness to be open about the issues they are going through. Parents may be able to detect the fact that something is wrong, but their child will often try to hide this as much as possible. Furthermore, they will often be unwilling to discuss these problems in an open and frank manner. The only way to effectively move past this impasse is to make it clear that you are approaching the situation without judgement or condemnation. If your son realizes that you have no interest in punishing or chastising him for his actions and only want him to be free from his issues, he will be much more likely to open up. At this point, professional help will be able to provide the treatment and support that is often necessary for a full recovery in extreme cases. Even if this does not end up being necessary, establishing this new dynamic with your son will allow him to be more open with you in the future and promote the formation of close family relationships.
