Sibling Conflict

I'm finding more competition and tension between my daughters, but I believe it to be a good thing. Let me explain. Now that my 18 year old daughter is sober, she has opinions, ideas and vocalizes in family discussions. That has brought about a new level of competition for my 20 year old daughter, who used to dominate the teenage perspective in the house. Now I have two daughters with strong, but often differing views. It has increased the volume and tension in the house, but I'm ok with it. It's more like it should be with two intelligent daughters who are finally starting to share equal ranking in the house. The old scenario of a numb teenager who didn't care to participate is gone. This is a transition stage that I welcome.

Good thoughts. We had a step family, & it helped to not judge or attack either child - but to ground them to opposite ends of our table where they couldn't kick or touch each other. Then I asked them each to explain the situation. Then I would say, "You need to develop better problem solving skills, so you will need to remain here until you have worked it out." At first they would grumble at each other. Then boredom began, so they began communicating to get freedom from the table.

I also liked a schoolteacher that had a "POWER CHAIR", so that if one child was out of control. He would sit there until he had control & power over the problem. Then return to his seat. This seemed to teach them to master themselves instead of an adult controlling them. It seemed a more positive approach, & he was named "Teacher of the Year."

The call is free, the consultation is confidential. Take charge and regain control of your teenager's future.

Your child's future and perhaps even his/her physical and metal well being is in your hands, be assertive and take control of your troubled teen in crisis with trained personnel monitoring and evaluating the situation and taking appropriate steps to correct behavior in your troubled teen in crisis.

Troubled Teen Boot Camp and Therapeutic Boarding Schools are considerations in behavior modification. Your troubled teen needs to learn life skills to cope with the pressures that affect his/her life on a daily basis. Residential Treatment Centers offer your teen a chance to get away from the anxiety and stress of daily life at home and school. Removing the troubled teen from the home environment and establishing boundaries and routines is the first hardship you will face as a parent. Understanding that the challenge your child faces is just as complex and needs professional help will be a test of your strength. Making the decision to get help for your troubled teen will be the best move you will make in your child's life. Helping you through the process is our goal.
