[QUOTE="peg2, post: 49078, member: 2133"] I have a similiar post going,"anyone familiar with boot/wilderness camps. I have 17 yr.old ODD,Impulse control. He was 12 when first placed, has had 2 placements, residential placement and lastly a group home. Just came home again last August. Something does have to "click" and it will(or not). The placements are like a respite for us, I couldn't contol my son, he disrupted the whole family, had to be placed for everyones safety. I had him placed both times because I had no open case with Youth&Fam. Services, he was just a behavior problem. Came home each time when he couldn't get anymore out of it, one time 16 months last time 14 months. My son isn;t that bad, jsut disruptive, cuts school, hangs out with friends until late. There is nothing one can do when they hit a certain age. My last resort is wilderness camp, but this will not "cure" him. I have no other option(maybe), but can we live through another year of this? Sometimes we need them to live elsewhere, but you can't dump the problem on another family member and besides, who says one always has choices of where to live. They have to learn life is not always fun!!! I believe, after years of going through this and working in the field myself, that nothing really works. It's something from within, I believe the light bulb comes on(and sometimes it doesn't). But we have done all we can. I haven't decided on a camp for mine yet, I will see what the summer brings.
