STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

Family Rules and Structure.

Tighten up family rules and be consistent with your monitoring. Most important -
FOLLOW THROUGH.
When you say something will happen, your teen must see it happen!

This 30-question test can serve as a point of reference in understanding the severity of the problems your teen is facing. Sometimes these problems are so severe that they can only be properly addressed by getting professional help in a controlled environment, such as a Residential Center, Treatment Program or Specialty School. Other times, problems can be resolved right in the home setting by creating more structure. Parents who provide structured limit-setting and tightening up of basic family rules can sometimes get a teen who is experiencing moderate difficulties back on track.
