Reasoning with them??? Talking with them??? Ha Ha...Yep...I remember when the "belt" was the law of the land growing up. Some ppl frown on that but others don't. There was no such thing as boot camp for teens. I went through the same thing with mine even taking them to juvenile counseling. If nothing works then I'm sorry to say, let them suffer the consequences for their own actions. The bad thing about that is that YOU have to pay the fine. A few days in the monkeyhouse (jail) can do wonders and worked for me.

I'm really not to physical abuse. It really gives more aggression to the child. It is really true, sometimes you'll just cry for it and blame yourself if you're a good parent.

I myself ask that question and I really feel depress and loosing hope on getting my daughter in having a good behavior. I've seek for parenting advice coming from counselors and some parents.

I'm proud to say that I raised my daughter to be on what is she right now. A good and responsible daughter.

I do not see how ass whipping and positive reinforcement can be used in the same sentence.

I am happy to hear everything worked out for you and your son. You said it very well in the above bold text.

really? it's the same method my father used, and actually the same method the military uses. Tear you down, restructure, motivate.

Back in the day (our youngest is 24 yrs old now) there use to be a program thru the Bexar County Juvi where you could sign your kid up to do a "day tour" of the Dominguez Detention Facility just off of 90 and 1604...not sure it still exists, and our kids never used it...but from what I heard back when we had friends with same age kids...VERY affective. Think it was called the "scared straight" program. Seems lots in prison don't mine helping trying to set others on the right path.
