Is there a specific age group that boot camps have the most effect on?
As a parent, sending your teen away to a boot camp might be very hard. Generally, disturbed teens from the age of 13-15 are sent to boot camps, as these are the most receptive years in a child. At the age of 13-15, it is easier to control and direct disruptive children. But, as the kids get older and still continue to show disturbing behavioral patters, then it get a bit tougher to deal with them. However, there are special boot camps for kids who are 18 years and over. These special programs have different techniques of dealing with the kids.
