At Risk Youth Solutions

Having identified the problem we will now attempt to offer some solutions. There are some products available online that assist parents in dealing with at risk youth. For younger children parents can try Boot Camp Packet this program is designed to motivate mostly younger children to correct their course. For older children we recommend the Total Transformation. We also have a new site that will help you be a better parent Parent Coaching. When at home options are not working, it may be time to consider placing the youth in a boarding option out of the home. These options are not inexpensive, but in some cases may be the most effective help. The at risk youth boarding option can also be very expensive. With the current financing problems in today’s financial world, arranging for a loan can be a challenge. There are some financial companies that specialize in these types of loans.

Low Cost Solutions

When a parent is struggling with an at risk youth they are usually desperately seeking help. Help for an at risk youth can be difficult to find in many communities. The public school system in many areas does not offer much for a child with this type of problem. There are some schools that will make special arrangement for high school drop outs. The students that attend these schools will usually attend because they want a diploma. The teen that is acting out and refusing to do school work is a different problem. This youth is usually still required by law to attend school. Parents are responsible to see that their at risk youth is in school everyday. Many parents will drop their child off at school, and the teen will immediately leave when the parent drives away.



At risk youth that refuse to stay at school can create a drain on their parents, and school administration. Ironically some states will even fine a parent if their child does not go to school. The problem then becomes more serious for parents. This type of method of holding parents accountable for their child’s attendance at school seems logical but how does a parent force their child to stay in school? If a parent holds a full time job, how are they supposed to stay with their child all day to make sure they stay in school? The school is unable to force an at risk youth to stay in class. The youth typically knows more about their rights than their parents do. A troubled teen armed with knowledge of this nature can make life difficult for everyone they are associated with.

Parent Testimonial

"The positive culture is the thing that separates Tipton from other program schools. The thrust becomes not to change your child, but to show him how to use his skills in positive ways. Your "bad Kid" becomes the Kid with the misdirected talents. It's liberating both for the parent and the child.

He's no longer ashamed of who he is. It's so nice when you've got a kid who has been in trouble to hear people saying positive things about his personality. The staff at Tipton doesn't see "bad kids." They make it possible for your child to restore the self esteem he needs, to do the right things and THRIVE!" - Glenda Bradley
