It was just hell on earth. That’s how Sandi describes their home situation before she and her husband Don sent their son to wilderness.

This episode is for you if you are researching options to help your struggling teen, considering wilderness for your kid, or if your kid is currently in wilderness.

In this parent interview with Sandi and Don, we discuss:

  • What it felt like sending their son to wilderness;
  • The fears they felt regarding wilderness;
  • What it was like when their son was away;
  • Their experiences with wilderness and whether they feel like wilderness delivered on what it said it was going to go;
  • When they first realized they had work to do themselves as parents;
  • How they made the decision to bring their son home straight from wilderness;
  • What it was like when their son came home with a whole new skill set that they hadn’t learned yet themselves.
