Where can I send my child for military type discipline for a  week to ten days, although she's only nine? HELP

Sorry to say this, but sounds like something has happened along the way in her 9 short years in this world to have her mother think of putting her into a military type place for disipline. It should have never reached this point. Could it be maybe her homelife is a little unstable? Maybe if there is a relative she really cares about, she can open up and tell them what's going on. She may act like she is 14 or 16, but deep down, she is still just a little girl and it sounds like she may need someone to open up to vs military disipline. At 9 years old, Something/someone gave her the bullet-proof attitude you speak of, she couldn't just develope that for no reason. If you were a close friend of mine and you asked this question, I would tell you to try anything and everything to correct what's wrong with you/daughter, but don't send your 9 year old daughter away from home to a military type institution for disipline.

I'd suggest calling any local military bases or reserve/guard units. I know that active duty military bases have programs in place like what you are talking about.

Although it's not going to be easy, it's time to have your son step up to the plate of adulthood.  Make an appointment for him to meet with a recruiter from the Army/Navy/Airforce/Marines.  He will get good direction, an education, and with luck take responsibility for his life.  I know this isn't the best of times to join the service, but it doesn't sound like he's on a great path as it is.  Good luck, Mom.

Bribery might help, give him something to look forward to at the end of each nine weeks and if he does well you could take him on a mini trip or buy him a game he wants. Some kids are motivated in diff ways so don't worry it might be something personal in his life like friends or girls, hope all goes well!

I assume that he's there for basic training.  I went to basic at Ft. Sill OK about 3 years ago now and I can tell you this.  SEND MANY MANY MANY LETTERS!!!!  My mom sent me at least a card or a note or something every single day.  I'm sure some other people that read this will make their comments about that, but I will tell you what, it is very very motivating and comforting to know that your family is thinking about you and cares for you.  Mail call was probably my favorite part of the day every single day.  You should hear from him soon.  maybe not by phone for awhile, but more than likely at least a letter with his address.  As I recall we didn't get phone privliges until about our 2nd or 3rd week.  He will also spend a few days at a reception battalion before he acctually starts basic.  he might get a few minutes to talk while there.  his phone calls will more than likely be very very short as there is normally very few phones for many many people to use.  God Bless your family and your son!  I hope this helps at least a little.  If you have any other quesions, feel free to e-mail me!

Therapy and Medications. Admit her into a phyc ward for a while. And I agree with the chanting of, "Jesus save my daughter". That's pretty funny. \n\nIf I were that kids mom, I'd give her ONLY what she NEEDS! Clothes to last a week. A blanket, pillow, and mattress. 1 towel,tooth and hairbrush, and she has to "check out" toiletries such as toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. NO toys, posters. movies, games, t.v., phone. This is called "Tough Love", and is used often by many parents for kids who refuse to understand the concept of having respect for their authoritive figures/parents. My folks used it on me for 2 years. They even locked me up for that time period. I was better for it when I got out to be honest. It REALLY does work. I gained a way better concept of appreciation for what I received for free. I am 31 now, and I think I live a better life now than what I might have, had I not gotten that intervention.

I am in TX so you can tell her you are taking her to Sea World or to Moody Gardens or to Nasa Space Center..and see what she says hopefully she will let her come.  Good Luck and have fun on your trip.

Do you have an FRG Leader you can ask?  If not, I sent my son the following and he loved it.\nBaby wipes, poptarts, canned spaghetti(with poptop lid), Vienna sausages, crackers, sunflower seeds, puzzle books, sun screen (very high SPF), more baby wipes (can't have too many of those) and LOTS of love letters from you.  Your letters mean the world to him right now.  It is hard having him so far from home, but stay true and keep writing to him and letting him know you will be there for him.  My prayers are with you both and my hat is off to the both of you.  Being a soldier is hard, but so is being the woman behind the man.  You get the bad times too, but none of the recognition

Who is the boss ?  YOU ARE.  Dont let them rule your life.  Let them know there are consequences for not doing as they are told.  Toys that dont get picked up, get thrown in the trash and make them put them there.  I bet things will change then.  Discipline is key and children need and crave it.  Schedules are important.  There should NEVER be an argument with your children especially at this age.  What YOU say goes.........Get strong.  Good luck.

You could go walking with her, or go to the park. Young kids like that aren't really into jumping around yet, so maybe walking and pushing her in a stroller is your best bet.

she isn't ready. to make her would be a bad idea    have patience    she will do it in her own time when she is ready. also depends on how old she is  over 3 is to old to not be trained.

None, teh facility is privately funded allowing them to have your child removed from their faciility at their discretion.  Schoolds have stricter regualtions.  Talk to his provider about allowing him to do something quiet while the others nap or simply to lay down and be quiet.  Afterall you are paying them to deal with him for the day nto simply when he is behacing...it snto like hes biting chidlren.  he just doesnt wanna sleep.  Find a new care provider if necessary!  Most of them deal with kids who wont nap instead of calling mom to pick them up.  (They should credit you for the days you had to get your child too.)

You could search job core on the internet, but I had a friend who got in even more trouble when she went. You have to remember that most of these kids are usually in some type of crisis, which is why they ended up there in the first place. With her having emotional issues, that may not be the best option for her. Thats just my opinion, though. Im sure many kids have turned their life around from job core. I think it's more of taking personal responsibility for your past actions that makes some kids thrive there and some get into more trouble. Just take into consideration how easily she is influenced by her peers. If she gives in easily to peer pressure, I would consider another option. Maybe surrounding her in a controlled environment with other emotionally disturbed girls would be of greater benefit. Good luck and I congratulate you on being a concerned parent. Your daughter has that in her favor.

Here's a manual for combat-ting Truancy.\nhttp://www.ed.gov/pubs/Truancy/index.html

Call your local Child Care Resource and Referral agency.  They will give you a list of licensed facilities in your area.  Also ask them if their is a website or phone number where you can get information on their past inspections.  Every parent looks for something different.  Tour each place at different times of the day and take the child with you.  You will "feel" it when you have found the right place but don't forget to look at their non compliances.  Ask the CCRR to send you a brochure on what questions to ask of the facility.  Good Luck!
