Here we go again
I find myself working for a wealthy individual with a teenage son that is out of control. Why I'm there is not at all clear, but it seems I have responsibility for supervising the youth. But, the dad is not in the least supportive - indeed he undermines my efforts to control the boy. It seems I'm younger than I am now, perhaps 30 or so. I don't seem to have any family, but I do seem to have some insight into working with kids. At first, I'm frustrated because the dad won't work with me and gives the kid anything he wants, but not what he needs the most. I consider just walking away, but not for long. Walking away won't do this family any good. So, I devise a plan to deal with the kid. First, I'll get involved in his life by participating in the kinds of activities he likes without any judgments. I'll give him unconditional attention until he gets comfortable with the attention from an older man. Then, I'll condition spending time with him on his behavior being appropriate. A simple reward system that does not require any involvement from the dad. An elegant solution.
Usually, I have some idea about what my dreams mean. But, this one? No clue. How about you.
