  • Labeled a Problem Child (1-07-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    When teens have difficulty in school, parents should look at what is fueling that difficulty, without allowing their teen to be labeled a “problem child”.

    Most problems with teens begin to show themselves in the school setting, where they are expected to fit into a standardized level of learning appropriate to their age. Most kids adapt, but many are either bored with the slow pace or overwhelmed by it all. They eventually give up and begin acting up.

    Some of the brightest kids I’ve ever met were labeled a “problem child” by school officials. So, for teens who don’t fit in, a wise parent will look for alternate educational options, before they take the negative labeling to heart and really become a problem child.
