Do you ever feel as if you can’t win with your teen? No matter how hard you try, your child finds something else wrong with your parental guidance. “Why can’t you be like this,” or, “Why can’t you be like that?” At least you received a response that time instead of the typical eye roll or door slam. Do you ever feel like you’re the captain on the Titanic about to hit that disastrous iceberg?
Metaphorically speaking, picture this: You (the guardian) are the captain of the Titanic and your child or loved one is the iceberg that’s about to hit. The Titanic is the house. Years ago, your child was clean and clear as water. Over time, you (the captain) get older and the water gets colder; thus, forming into an iceberg.
If your child is now an iceberg, how can you expect to bring him or her back to water by your own bare hands? How can you touch the heart of your child if they are literally cold as ice? Of course you can’t! The question here is why?
Coming from experience, I can understand what you might be going through. Trust me, I’ve seen it all. What I have learned overtime, however, is that outside help and adaptation to the word of God works. As hard as it may sound and as difficult as it may be to set aside the funds, additional assistance and space is often the solution. Let’s look at some facts together about New Creations Boarding School:
• Students have the ability to partake in more extracurricular activities than they could in a public school
• Students are capable of graduating within two years, as opposed to four
• New Creations Boarding School offers a family atmosphere with 24/7 supervision
• With a dormitory life style and daily chores, students learn the three R’s: responsibility, regulation, and respect
• They do not take placements from the juvenile justice system directly into New Creations Boarding School
• Students attend church services on campus three times per week, and participate in daily devotions every morning and evening
If you feel like you’ve hit your breaking point, please understand that there is help available for your child or loved one. Maybe, just maybe, New Creations Boarding School is right for your situation. The most important aspect to grasp is the fact that you are not the only family in this situation, nor are you alone, and that there are several outside hands to melt your child’s ice. After all, captains are always in need of a crew, especially if they’re sailing in the Titanic about to crash into an iceberg. When all is said and done, is it time to send off your flares, or is it time to call for assistance first?
