Parenting Teens Parenting Teens Teens Today High School Teen Health From Denise Witmer, your Guide to Parenting Teens Father Looking for a Residential Therapeutic School for Son A father asks on the forum: Our 15-year-old son was just suspended for bringing a knife to his private school. After four years we've finally managed to get an IEP for ADHD and ED. Going back to our local public school isn't an option. It's a toxic environment for him. We're looking for a good residential therapeutic school, and our preference would be one built on Christian faith and values. At the moment we are considering "The Fold Family Ministries" in Vermont, "Heartlight" in Texas, and "CALO" which is in Missouri. Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with those schools? We'd really like to hear from parents - not just brochures. Asking our community: Have you every felt that your teen's school was too toxic? If so, what choices do you feel you have? Do you have recommendations for this dad? Please share your thoughts, advice and experiences in the comments area.
