First Steps: Suggestions for Parents of out-of-control teens The first thing I suggest is becoming aware of options. The second is to recognize that as good a parent as you are, this problem is way too big to handle without help. It can tear families and marriages apart, ruin your productivity, and basically take over your life. It's no fun for your teen either! It's their way of self-medicating some very deep pain, and they will need a three-step process, which must be done in order: (1) addressing the drug use
There is an excellent private counselling service in Toronto called Recovery Counselling Centre. Hamish White and his associates counsel parents and make referrals to treatment in the US and Canada. Their website is http://www.recoverycounselling.on.ca . I have done a lot of work with them (Anna Silenius in particular) on the parent support side.

Teenage kicks The secret to successful parenting is to find a balance by focusing on key areas of importance. Denying a child every element of popular culture, every opportunity to share activities with friends and every possibility of freedom will backfire. Choose your battles. If you are resistant to the idea of change, negotiation or compromise, you will render your child powerless, thereby encouraging rebellion and deception, and undermine your relationship.
Be prepared to explain yourself and to make allowances. Balance what your child says, what the Government decrees, what other children are doing and what other parents allow with what you believe, and make a judgment on that basis. Take the time to explain your thinking. Unexplained rules set for the sake of them will do nothing but cause frustration and resistance. What’s more, your child will learn nothing except how to accept defeat, and the defeat will breed resentment. If you explain your thinking, your ...
