Camps near Harvey, LA for teens and pre-teens struggling to find their identity in the world

When teenagers are struggling to find their place in the world, they attempt to re-learn how to act, behave, and even dress. Boys and girls just want to fit in somewhere, so they redefine themselves.  The problem is that they look to other teens to teach them.  The issues is, "what if the group they look to are "troubled" or "rebellious" toward authority (especially parental authority)?  The truth is that the world of a teenager is a rough place at all the times.  In the world of a a teenage boy or girl there is very little positive cooperation from peers; there is very little kindness, humility, accountability, or other positive behavioral qualities amongst peers.  Being a teen is very difficult, and its like the "blind leading the blind".  If your child has been caught up in a bad crowd, and is heading in the wrong direction, a specialty camp for troubled teens might be the answer.  Especially if the camp is an early intervention short-term program that is followed with an aftercare program (must include the entire family).    We can help you find the perfect affordable solution.

Most of the troubled youth need strong guidance, structure and discipline, therapy, and the discovery of natural consequences of behavior.  Short-term specialty camps near Harvey, LA might do the trick.

However, these specialty camps are not long-term solutions. Therefore, we recommend a good aftercare program in Harvey, LA to follow the specialty camp.

Famous QuotesI like to believe that you don't need to reach a certain goal to be happy. I prefer to think that happiness is always there, and that when things don't go the way we might like them to, it's a sign from above that something even better is right around the corner. David Archuleta

Famous QuotesAnd at some point you realize that there are more flavors of pain than coffee. There's the little empty pain of leaving something behind graduating, taking the next step forward, walking out of something familiar and safe into the unknown. There's the big, whirling pain of life upending all of your plans and expectations. There's the sharp little pains of failure, and the more obscure aches of successes that didn't give you what you thought they would. There are the vicious, stabbing pains of hopes being torn up. The sweet little pains of finding others, giving them your love, and taking joy in their life as they grow and learn. There's the steady pain of empathy that you shrug off so you can stand beside a wounded friend and help them bear their burdens. " Jim Butcher
