A lot of parents struggle with kids who do have behavioral issues or mental health disorders and sometimes it is very difficult for them to find a proper program in order to help their children with the problems they are facing. Let’s read a concrete story of a young middle school student.
Previously, Jacob Souders was a 12-year-old sixth-grader whose mother didn’t know how to keep him under control. He was always getting in trouble, acting out and trying to beat people up. He was diagnosed with a mental health disorder and needed behavioral help.
Jacob entered the residential program offered by Cincinnati Children’s Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, where a recreational therapy program has helped turn him around. Actually, a horse named Sky deserves part of the credit. Brushing Sky, cleaning her hooves and learning to walk and ride her taught Jacob a little about horses and a lot about himself.
As you can see, the program turned out really helpful for Jacob. Since then, there have been a lot of success stories of children who tried this therapy. Please watch the video below and make sure to share it with your friends so they can be informed about this program as well.
