Boot Camps for Boys are a Mistake

Often when teens struggle with the numerous issues they face in today's society they become, frankly, quite unpleasant. Thousands of families throughout the country have felt that the best way to get their troubled boys back on track is to send them to boot camps. The idea is to both "straighten them out" and to legally punish them in the most painful way possible. However, unreported in both the media and from these programs is the fact that there is very little statistical evidence that boot camps for boys have a long-term impact on the success of the child. In fact, there is mounting evidence that they are both ineffective and in many cases detrimental.

Are you familiar with all of the intervention options - beyond boot camps for boys - to help your son? How are you going to know what your son needs? InsightPros may have treatment options that can help.

Beyond boot camps for boys, what kinds of treatment will build the life changing self-esteem and confidence that your son needs to be successful for the long run?

A major problem facing boys who struggle with the issues listed above is low self-esteem or feelings of worthlessness.

Many, if not all, of your son's destructive behaviors could merely be symptoms of this one core problem.

Be certain that the intervention you choose builds, rather than destroys his self esteem, instilling life-long positive change by dealing with the core issues.

An abusive or overly restrictive setting may not build the confidence and self-esteem your son needs.

If your son exits a boot camp for boys with the same low self-image that he entered with, then he will continue to engage in the behaviors that validate his self image.

Many parents choose to pursue interventions that address the symptoms only. Attacking the symptoms will drive the destructive behaviors underground - only to resurface at a later date. This approach wastes valuable time and resources and may even make things worse.
