Teens are known to explore new things. But if they are demonstrating drastic behavioral changes, it’s a parent’s responsibility to examine the potential causes of the change. Our guest, Dr. Robert Sack, discusses with Allen and Melody the signs and the strategies that can help parents identify the events or deep-rooted causes, establish a communications flow and provide the support, structure, or interventions necessary to ensure the well-being and safety of your child.
Intervening in a dangerous situation (like ones involving drugs, abuse or truancy) might make your child dislike you, but it will also save his or her life. It is always important for parents to understand that they need to do what’s best for their child, not just “go along, just to get along.”
