The fugue among teens: the opinion of a shrink
All's well That ends well. When a runaway child returns to the family home, relief prevails. But after the reunion, it is often misunderstanding. Parents must then seek to understand this cry for help and not trivialize the act.
Running away is a serious act, an act to be taken seriously and often communication needs to be restored. As soon as you come home, you have to be kind and restore a sense of trust and then look for the reasons for your action. Sometimes the dialogue is more difficult than expected, so it is advisable to leave the teen free listening numbers or associations so that he also finds outside support.
Cases of recidivism
Young people who reoffend represent a minority. But if the child decides to flee again, it is because the problem is more serious or deeper and he can not resolve himself alone.
It must be remembered that theadolescence is a pivotal period, often complicated for a child. Psychological help can then be very valuable. Parents must then take the step back to better understand their suffering and avoid recidivism.
