Why is it easier to send your kids to boarding school when they don’t have a  proper behavior? Is it  the way out?

I just wanted to start with that question because schools are made to give a complementary education to children. In my opinion, what you can give at home is more valuable and helpful. From the beginning on: the discipline, having conversations about real issues, showing respect and explaining that you have to enjoy life but  do this with care and conscientiousness. All of this is going to help children to understand different situations.

I do not want to say that only the parents are responsible for their kids, sometimes there are problems we cannot cope with on our own, but in some cases the institutions are not going to guarantee the change of behavior.

I’m a mother and I’m really impressed on how many advertisements you can find on websites who sale you “the best way to make your child behave”. If it were a box of cereals, it would help you to get thinner. I’m amazed by how special schools for troubled teens are increasing every day: now I think to myself “what it is going on?” Is it just a parent’s problem or is there something really happening with our society? Education system? At home?

Right now I find society cruel and materialistic. Our kids are trying to survive everyday things at schools that make them feel under pressure. As we all feel sometimes in our jobs  and even we have difficulties with handling. So Image haw children must feel when they try coping.

We all know the uncontrolled problem of the drugs to which our children can be very near at times. This is where I call for common sense that says that we cannot handle this alone. To send them away is going to work for a while but the social situation around them has not changed. The solution is not to keep them with us all their lives and isolate them from the world but sending them away isn’t the best solution either.  There are other ways…

Yes you can find specialists, boarding schools that are prepared to manage the tough situation; professionals who can help you out but I think you have to be sure to make that decision and let your common sense bring you part of the answer to help your children.
