  • Losses Found (7-1-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Kids often lose things, but sometimes there are losses in their life that are so traumatic – they affect their behavior.

    There are many ways a teen experiences loss…the loss of a parent through death or divorce, the loss of family identity through being adopted, the loss of innocence, the loss of control of some aspect of their life, or the loss of a friend.

    Losses, whether they are real or perceived, can affect a child’s behavior when they reach the introspective adolescent years.

    So if your teenager is suddenly misbehaving, consider that it may be a symptom of a loss in their life. A counselor can help uncover what that loss is before it triggers worse behavior.
