[QUOTE="Fran, post: 36640, member: 3"] <span style='font-size: 11pt'>I think like anything else we have tried, different things work for different kids. Jail would absolutely put my difficult child into a regressed state of fear. He is anxious and not able to defend himself against bullies. Fortunately, he doesn't tend towards breaking the law. Some like how tough love works. We tried emotional growth boarding school which worked for us but didn't cure what is the underlying problem. Some go the military school route. Showing prisons to some difficult child's may work. I know my easy child would be horrified by the noise and smells and the fear. It would probably work for him. It isn't going to do much for my difficult child. What I'm trying to say to those who are still in the earlier stages of difficult child raising, look at what your particular child needs. Our difficult child's need custom made treatment plans based on our kids behaviors and reasons for their behaviors. Not all were the victims of severe abuse or neglect.
