The Challenges Of Parenthood
You should consider taking your child to the doctor and discuss the situation with him or her; and follow their recommendation on if your child needs to see a psychotherapist to have them evaluated to see if there's a real reason or if psychological problems are an issue with the way your child behaves both at home and in public. If there are psychological issues then by all means seek treatment for your child. In some cases though a child or children are being foolish and seeing how much they can get away with, in other words they're challenging you as a parent.
The bible makes it very clear that "foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child. But, the rod of correction will drive it far from him." Proverbs 22:15. The rod of correction is whatever method of discipline you use today. To help overcome many behavior problems discipline your children by teaching and training them very early in life. I honestly believe when a child begins to talk, walk, and reason to a certain degree this is where teaching and training is necessary to last for decades to come. Throughout your lifetime chances are you will continue to face the challenges of parenthood even after your child or children are no longer under your roof.
Just because your child has moved out of your home doesn't really mean they're truly on their own. Do your children ever come back home occasionally seeking guidance? Do they ask for your help and some money every now and then? Parenting is a "lifelong" commitment and it goes way beyond the age of majority.
Your child or children are an asset to you and not a liability. Look, Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of your womb is a reward. Psalm 127:3.
