How do I deal with him?

[BabyButterfly]

hi all

thanks ladies, he came home Friday, the police found him.
He ran off again yesterday, but we found hime again later in the day.
Now we have to try and encourage him to stay.
I am dreading all my other children turning into teenagers!!!

So glad to hear he's home!
Must be a huge relief for you guys.
FWIW - Out of all my friends I've never seen more than one troubled teen causing that much heartache for each family, so hopefully this is the worst of it & the rest will be perfect
Huge Look after yourself hunny.

Glad to hear that you have your DS home, i used to run away from my mum when i was a teengaer - i really was just a case of being a bit of a 'rebel' and also it didnt help who i was hanging around either.. NOTHING my mum said or did made me want to stay home... i know this isnt much help but i think its just a phase some of us go through unfortunatly for you it hasnt come at the best time.
i found the more my mum tried to disipline (sp?) me the more i would be naughty.. im not saying to let him do whatever he wants, let him do things to an extent like yes u can go do such and such but please be home by ?? time.
i dont know if that helps much but just giving you a point of view coz i was that young not so long ago
