Doesn’t matter that much imo. There are loads of non-Christian therapists who are great.

That’s tough man. Know that you aren’t alone in parenting struggles with teens.

Horrible idea. Don't listen to this.

Tough Love allows for consequences to bring reality to the situation.

Unless you know the system, you could make it so much worse. Will it be on his record? Can it be sealed? What happens

Great points.

May i suggest a good read from an old BYU professor?Psychologist/Behaviorist

Stealing from parents is one thing. Stealing from others is much worse. Has he stolen from anyone else?

Baron

1/18/19 7:23pm

He has shoplifted before, but not for a couple years (that we're aware of)

I again think counseling and talking to him about what he was buying and why? Ask why he didn't just come to to buy it?

Baron

1/18/19 7:35pm

Make him take a drug test, you can buy them at any pharmacy.

1/18/19 7:47pm

I would do this immediately

For all the tough love comments, I'd be a bit careful about going too fare. Kid
