Having taught acting school Los Angeles young people for over twenty years now, it has been one of my main aims to prevent them from following the same path that I did as a young actor.

The short answer is 'yes' in many but not all cases. And this means that parents with a troubled teen need to think carefully before sending their son or daughter off to a boot camp.The first point to consider is the nature of the problem or problems being faced by your teen. There is a world of difference between a teen who has slackened off in their studies and is spending too much time watching TV and on their computer and a teen who is in trouble with the law or seriously depressed and has a drug habit. Lumping all troubled teens in the same basket is wrong and potentially dangerous.The next point to consider is the goal and program of a particular boot camp. Some are tough places where the staff has military rank, where tough love is the order of the day and the teens are driven hard meaning they tend to collapse in their bunk at the end of the day from tiredness. That's fine if you want to give your teen a friendly wake-up call, to help them snap out of their lethargy and get back to their studies with a vengeance.

One of the things that kids love the most is toys. There are millions of toys in the world, and new kinds come into stores every few months. They are important to help your child grow up and develop properly, but they can become a hazard if not made properly. Many children are sent to the emergency room every year because of toy-related accidents. When you buy toys, make sure that cloth toys are flame resistant or retardant. Any toys that are painted should be painted with lead-free paint. Any art materials should be nontoxic and labeled ASTM D-4236, meaning that they have been checked by the American Society for Testing and Materials. Toys that are old should be thrown away or kept away from young children. These battered toys can harm young ones if they break. All toys should be sturdy so that they do not break. Make sure that the toys have no sharp edges or points which could puncture your child's skin. Young children tend to put toys in their mouths and also near their eyes, so check all their toys for this hazard. Battery-powered toys are bad for little children since they could try to eat the batteries. Be certain the battery compartment is not easy for...more
