Parenting
Do you have a difficult teenager or young child? Do you feel unclear about how and where to set limits, or how to respond to disobedience? Do you wonder how to teach your child healthy self-esteem in the face of their own limitations or struggles?
Parenting can be very challenging while truly rewarding work. It is nonetheless difficult when we feel overwhelmed by our child, uncertain about how to parent a difficult child, or unfulfilled in the role as mother or father. These feelings can be even more pronounced when parenting a child with special needs.
Some of the issues I help parents with are
- Helping parents feel more able to reason through parenting challenges to find appropriate responses
- Helping parents feel more confident in their role
- Teaching parents how to create appropriate limits and how to tolerate experiencing your child's psychological discomfort when they bump up against a limit.
- Teaching parents how to rear self-confident children
- Helping couples be more united in their approach to parenting
- Helping parents of special needs children cope with the unique challenges associated with raising these special kids.
