What would you do? What would be the most drastic step you would take? And don't just say "my child would never be out of control".
Well, you can go by your own definition of out of control - I would basically define it as acting without respect for yourself or others. For me, getting horrible grades/acting very promiscuously/having drugs or drinking problems/getting in trouble with the law would all be possible signs of an out of control kid, but it could also be a straight A sober virgin who has an ego the size of France.
by the way, this is not a plea for help...my oldest two are 10, and while they aren't perfect they certainly aren't out of control. It's just a curious question, that's all.
