Troubled Youth Boot Camps

By Curtis Reed

If you are a parent that is currently considering seeking the services of boot camps for troubled youth, please stop now. It is crucial for parents that have been misinformed about the actual function and effectiveness, or lack thereof, of boot camps for troubled youth.  We want parents to know the truth about these facilities and understand that there are far better options for your child.

Kids do not respond to punishment and screaming. These tactics may work at first but may eventually cause more problems further down the road. Struggling boys and girls will learn to not trust their parents and show even more disdain towards authority than they had to begin with.

The truth of the matter is, boys and girls respond best to therapeutic intervention. By seeing their authority as an ally, rather than a tyrant, they are able to trust the people that are trying to help them grow, instead of hating them. Authority figures that promote change from within instead of trying to force change out of them, will help boys and girls grow to meet their full therapeutic and overall potential.
