brat camp for kids?

Question

Is there such thing as a brat camp for kids? Lke a boot camp or something to straighten out misbehaved kids? If so, where?????

Answer 1

i know they had a reality tv about something like that... but try google-ing it. you're bound to find some place to help kids. also, you can always check with your community around you for help and information.

Answer 2

There are several "boot camp" style camps for kids, usually teenagers who are seriously involved in life-threatening types of behaviors (drugs, sex, gangs, etc.) They are expensive--my cousin spent almost $60,000 to send his son to a drug abuse camp, only to send the kid back to rehab 3 months later. Check with your local family services, and local psycologists/psychiatrists (preferably your child's).

However, if the problem isn't severe, then good old fashioned disipline is your answer, and that comes from you. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Don't make idle threats to kids, they pick up on those. If you say you're going to do something, then do it. If you lay down a consequence for bad behavior, then when the behavior shows up (and it will) the consequence must as well. Remove priveleges for poor choices, reward positive choices. Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

There are several camps like this all around the country. You can look on-line, but be sure to do your homework before you send your child to any of them. I wanted to send my son this past summer. Once I told him I had found a few places and made some phone calls, he took me serious and changes his behavior for the better. Good luck.

Answer 4

It's almost always the parents' fault. Blame yourself for their behaviour. Military school works. Forced labour is another option.

Answer 5

A trip to jail. Go on a visit. Scare them.

Answer 6

shame there isn't a brat camp for adults who produce 'brats'!
