Sue Scheff: TEEN HELP - Parents at their Wit's End!


Wit's End - Advice and Resources for Saving Your Out-of-Control Teen
A Mother and Daughter's True Story
By Sue Scheff
Compelling foreword by Dr. David Lustig (as seen on Oprah), author of Parent Survival Training.
It is July - teens are out of school and you may be a parent struggling with a teen that is controlling your household, sneaking out, defiant, disrespectful and more. All these negative activities and behavior may stem from peer pressure or feelings of low self worth. Many of these teens are highly intelligent, as a matter of fact, it is usually that very smart child that is capable of manipulation - or our "angel" child that you wonder where he/she went? That was my story.
If you are going through some hard times with your teenager, don't be a parent in denial, reach out for help, especially if you are looking for residential therapy. Learn from my mistakes, gain from my knowledge.
Order Wit's End today (from the same publisher that brough you Chicken Soup for the Soul).

Sue Scheff: Safe and Sound Youth Transportation


Since creating Parents' Universal Resource Experts (P.U.R.E.), I have been introduced to wonderful people that take heart in helping families that are struggling with today's teens. Choosing the right program or school is your first major decision, deciding how to get them there safely, is your second. More and more families are resorting to Transport Companies, however just like with schools and programs, you need to find the right one. Remember, this is not kidnapping - as long as you have selected the right transport, the transition can be smooth. I have talked to many parents and teens that have actually kept in touch with their transport person as a friend. Listed below is one company that has an impeccable reputation and I have personally spoken with many families that have satisfied results.
Safe and Sound Youth Transportation - Owner Lorraine Colpitts (pictured above)
A Safe, Caring Transition at a Difficult time......Let us be the "First Step" in aiding your family during this time of family crisis.


Our Mission Statement........


To ensure the Safe and Reliable Intervention/Transport of your teen from your home or your childs current placement to your chosen destination in the most professional, yet nurturing and efficient manner possible.

Welcome to the Safe and Sound Youth Transportation, Inc. website.

This site offers you the opportunity to learn more about us and our company. We are here to assist you, the parent, with any and all of your teen escort and transportation needs. If you have comments or questions, please feel free to Contact Us. We thank you for visiting and would like to encourage you to check back for updated information.

" We go the extra miles "

The extra miles.....it is very important to us that the transport starts at your home, (or your chosen school or program), and it doesn't end until we get your child all the way to his/her final destination. What that could mean is that we drive them from your home to the nearest airport, fly across the country to the state the program or school is in, then rent a car and drive several hours, if your destination is a Wilderness Program or School. It can be a very long and trying journey, but we are excited to take it with your child.

We take having the responsibility of your child very seriously and will see them all the way through this part of their journey. We are committed to you and your family, and will always treat them with the utmost dignity and respect, kindness and compassion.

We will stay in communication with you, the parent or guardian, by cell phone, and call you at frequent intervals, which can be decided on prior to the transport.

Our goal is always the safest, least traumatic trip possible, and we always take the most cost effective route when we can.

Sue Scheff: Stop Your Kids From Shoplifting

Source: www.StopYourKidsFromShoplifting.com

Why Children Steal and Your Role in Preventing Retail Theft

Very young children sometimes take things they want without understanding why it's wrong. Elementary school-aged children know better, but may lack enough self-control to stop themselves. Most preteens and teens shoplift as a result of social and personal pressure in their lives. Here are just a few of the reasons why:

• Feel peer pressure to shoplift
• Low self-esteem
• A cry for help or attention
• The naïve assumption they won't get caught
• The belief that teen stealing is “not a big deal”
• Inability to handle temptation when faced with things they want
• The thrill involved
• Defiance or rebelliousness
• Not knowing how to work through feelings of anger, frustration, etc.
• Misconception that stores can afford the losses
• The desire to have the things that will get them “in” with a certain group of kids.
• To support a drug habit.
• To prove themselves to members of a gang.

Learn More about Inhalant Abuse Among Teens


In 2004, the Alliance for Consumer Education launched ITS Inhalant Abuse Prevention Kit at a national press conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC. The kit was successfully tested in 6 pilot states across the country. Currently, ACE’s Inhalant Abuse Prevention Kit is in all 50 states. Furthermore, the Kit is in its third printing due to high demands.

The Kit is intended for presentations to adult audiences. Specifically parents of elementary and middle school children, so they can talk to their children about the dangers and risks associated with Inhalants. We base the program on data from the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. Statistics show that parents talking to their kids about drugs decrease the risk of the kids trying a drug.

The Inhalant Abuse Prevention Kit contains 4 components: the Facilitator’s Guide, a FAQ sheet, an interactive PowerPoint presentation, and a “What Every Parent Needs to Know about Inhalant Abuse” brochure. Additionally, there are 4 printable posters for classroom use, presentations, etc.
