Can't control your children?

Can't stop fussing at them?

Feel like they rarely listen?

If so, I can help. But first, ask yourself two questions about getting help for your child’s behavior problems or particular issues:  

1) Do you believe the key point of intervention is the parent or the child? (In other words, is the person who should go to treatment the parent or the child?)  

2) Do you want a more thorough fix or a temporary patch for the problem?  

From years of clinical experience, it has become very clear to me that adjustments in parenting (even small adjustments) can make a big difference in how a child acts at home, school, among peers, etc. So the key point of intervention from my experience is without question the parent. If you are willing to open up and find out how you, the parent, can change for the sake of your child, then parent coaching may be a good fit for you.  

Regarding the issue of a more thorough fix or a temporary patch, another question will help with the answer. Do you want to be given a fish (to eat for a day) or do you want to take the time to learn to fish (in order to eat for a lifetime)? My style of parent coaching is not one of giving advise on child-rearing; rather, I will help you by way of self-reflection to better connect with and tune in to your child. This in turn will bring about positive changes in your child's behavior.

Enjoying your child most of the time rather than resenting them or being annoyed by them is possible.

I would encourage you to act today on behalf of your child, either by emailing me to request a free phone consultation if you have questions, or by calling and scheduling a parent coaching appointment (972-934-1485).
