It´s normal for parents to feel overwhelmed with frustration, guilt, fear, and sadness after finding out that their child is experiencing sexual behavioral problems. Keep in mind that healing is possible for everyone; but in order for healing to begin, it requires action. As a general rule as with most problems we face in life, the outcome is better by doing something immediately to solve a problem than to wait for something to happen.

Often by waiting it puts the decision to get help in the hands of someone else and risks having authorities remove your child from your care. Others could be the target of inappropriate sexual behavior. And, proper assessment and treatment services could be delayed. Overall, it is far better to be "proactive" by getting your family professional help versus "reactive" by ignoring signs of abuse, blaming yourself or others, or waiting for someone else to respond. However finding a competent professional with experience working with adolescent sexual problems can be difficult.

Parents may find it awkward to discuss their concerns with other family members and friends. They often feel a sense of shame in the knowledge that their child could have some serious sexual problems. Confidentiality is a concern so most parents start out by searching the web for information and help. While the web is a good resource, it can be difficult to navigate through the numerous websites. The question is how credible is the information you find? By going to the website www.birdseyertc.com and clicking on additional resources listed are a few useful websites to consider when searching for help.

Knowledge is the power to get the best help for your child. These websites offer useful information regarding pornography prevention, sexual abuse prevention, how to recognize sexual abuse, professional referrals, and the steps to getting help for your child.

The important thing to do is to keep your child and other people safe while you talk to someone with the experience and training to help you consider the possible next steps in getting help. Some specialized residential treatment programs such as Birdseye RTC offer free initial consultation with a mental health therapist to help in developing a safety plan, addressing concerning behaviors, and considering possible treatment options.
