Parenting

There is no manual to follow when raising kids. Being a parent can be a joy, but it can also be a tough job. Parenting is a complex activity that includes many behaviors and choices. There is no formula because no child is the same. What worked for one child may not work for another. How can you raise a healthy family? Are your fears and frustrations normal? What about losing your temper and making mistakes?

Therapy can help you:

  • Develop new, more effective parenting skills
  • Discipline with positive reinforcement
  • Read signs and signals better
  • Create more family openness and trust
  • Utilize teachers and schools
  • Become a better listener
  • Learn to criticize a behavior, not the child
  • Practice consistency
  • Manage sibling rivalries and blended family dynamics
  • Raise a special needs child
  • Parent a child with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Find additional supports and guidance
