[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 462289, member: 1514"] This is something I really dont think the parents of the "older kids" kids can actually answer with any real honesty because we dont know with true accuracy what has made any difference. I really think the one thing that made the biggest change in Cory was charging him with theft and actually following through with it. It showed him I had a line in the sand and I wasnt backing down anymore. It also got him a really wonderful probation officer as an adult who put up with no BS. Maybe his daughter had something to do with it too though I guess that isnt something we want to advocate for most of the kids. Personally I think he just grew up and his frontal lobe started maturing. Yeah I had to be there to body block him along the way and try to keep him from doing to much damage before he got to his mid-twenties but I think what he needed was time. [/QUOTE]
