Hi my name is Laura. My son is 15 year old and brilliant in his school. Our’s is a rich family and he is the only son for us. I don’t know the reason behind his present behavior, he tries to run away from the house. Once he ran away when he was 10 years old. I could clearly understand his behavior that he is planning to run away from home again. I don’t know what to do in this situation and don’t know the reason what I have done wrong for him?

From your problem, I can figure out that there is something wrong with your child. There is definitely something going on in his mind. Try to find out what’s wrong with him, why he is planning to runaway again and again? Have a talk with him and know about his needs. Encourage him in little activities and give him extra love and care.

I am a counselor and have helped many children with runaway problem. What I have observed in most of the cases that families are rich and usually don’t have time for the child. The child feels lonely and depressed. May be same is in your case also. I would advice you and your husband to spend some time of the day with your child. Take care of his needs and emotions. If these things, don’t work, then look for a boarding school or a residential treatment center before he takes this major step of running away from home.

Parents in rich families often don’t give too much love and care to their teens as they don’t have enough time for their child. This results in lack of self esteem and confidence in those teens. So you have to give him love and care. Talk to him in friendly manner and tell him that how much important he is for your life. You can also take help of a counselor.

You can send your son to a good boarding school. Boarding schools provide loving and caring environment to their students. This will improve his condition and he will also improve academically. As he had also taken the step of running away from home five years ago, you should have taken proper steps at that time. But it’s not too late even now. Go for an immediate help for your teen.

After reading your entire problem, my opinion is to spend more and more time with your child. Even though you give him all he wanted but he wants complete freedom to go outside and enjoy a lot. I don’t think you provide such a freedom to him; this might be one of the reasons for his problem. Provide him the freedom all he required. Then ultimately you don’t have any problem with your son.

The answer given by one of our friends is good and I agree with his answer. Being a rich family, you might not give enough freedom to him. That’s why he ran away from the house earlier, so try to understand his feelings and about his freedom. This will help you and your family.
