Many of the challenges we see our children struggle with - excessive worry, shyness, an inability to regulate big emotions, impulsiveness, sadness or grief - these can often be exaggerated or reduced depending on our reactions as parents. Of course we are human and don’t always parent as our best, most-rested and rational selves, so becoming aware of basic ways to positively influence our children’s beliefs and resulting behaviors is key!
I work with parents or parents & children together to improve communication, self-expression, and to create a stable and supportive environment for kids & teens to grow. It’s often beneficial to examine the day to day interactions through family systems work and see how the entire household has the ability to affect change and improvement. If you believe extensive parenting skills work is needed, I am happy to make recommendations for additional resources and even parenting classes and/or coaching.
