In this article we will briefly discuss what a parent can do, both at home, and
outside treatment to help a troubled teen. There are many forms of treatment for

troubled teens. The most basic must begin in the home. If your teen is becoming more
defiant, you first need to take a look at the rules you have laid down for

him/her, and consider revising. The most common mistake parents make, isn\'t the
making of the rules, it is the enforcing of the rules they make.

Challenges conquered sweeten success, and while failure is in part unavoidable, no
one can know how the balance of success and failure measures out until the

journey is complete. As long as the journey continues, there is hope: a chance to
turn failures into success, weaknesses to strengths.

Like any adventure, the challenges are unique to each traveler. Even the same
parent will experience different challenges as each child is guided through
adolescence.

Because each journey is unique, there is no way to smooth all the bumps, anticipate
all the challenges, or detonate all the land mines beforehand. However, there are

aspects of the journey that appear to be universal.

If the parent-child connection is consistent, positive, and characterized by warmth,
kindness, love, and stability, children are more likely to flourish socially.

The relationships with their parents as warm, kind, and consistent are more likely
to initiate social interaction with other adolescents and with other adults. They
are

more likely to respond to others positively and with greater empathy. Although
teenagers will make their own choices, a good home life can increase the odds that

kids will avoid many of the pitfalls of adolescence.

They are more likely to be self-confident in their relationships with others, and to
be more cooperative with others. Also, teens with these kinds of positive

relationships with their parents on the whole struggle less with depression, and
have higher self-esteem.

The more people you have on your side, the faster you will see results. And always
remember to practice what you preach. Your children watch you're every move,

looking for mistakes; this will then give them a very excellent excuse for
unacceptable behavior, and one you can\'t argue with. Another big key in parenting
