How do you deal a problem child? Will you put him in an institution so can take care of him/her. will put him/her in a rehabilation center and let the people there deal with your child?

There are a lot of programs available, in most areas, that are meant to help families keep their "problem" children at home or at least in the same community. There's therapy, there's respite, there's short-term hospitalization, there's mentoring, there's support groups. If necessary to keep my child safe, I would consider placing her in some sort of therapeutic residential treatment center.

I wouldn't call my kids "problem children" but of course they have their attitudes and whatever else, as we all do. And yes sometimes they just get on my last nerve but I would NEVER put them in any type of rehab or whatever, I do sometimes kid around and say if you don't stop I am going to put you in Military school..lol..Now, that would straighten their butts up real fast! But for the most part they are just normal kids and I do agree that sometimes they are so unreal and are constantly argueing with one another but then again they are the best of friends. SO confusing! -Lora

In general, I don't have a problem child, though sometimes he is rebellious. I can understand him for it is a hard age to be a teen. Should there be one, and if I could not deal with it, I think that I would send him there for some education about how to behave.
