Parenting

Parenting in the 21st century can be one of the biggest challenges.  In many families, both parents have to work to support the family.  The ever increasing expectation for children to perform well in school, raising happy and emotionally adjusted children can be one of the most difficult tasks for most parents.

It is sad to note that millions of American children are suffering from emotional and behavioral problems. According to a 2013 survey conducted by ChildStats.gov, 5% of children ages 4 to 17 have serious emotional and behavioral difficulties, and have difficulty getting along with other people. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 6.8% of American children have ADHD, 3.5% have conduct problems, 3% are showing signs of anxiety disorder and 2.1% are battling with depression.

Considering those things, it is not surprising why many people feel that they are missing the mark when it comes to parenting.  Some parents are frustrated about their child’s behaviors or emotions and are concerned that they may get worse over time. Still other parents feel powerless and feel that they are being controlled by their children.  So, what can you do to help your child overcome her emotional and behavioral problems? How can you help him develop a sense of happiness and well-being, and make it possible for him to achieve his full potential? This is where we can help.

We can assist you in understanding your child better and help you identify alternatives to help your child resolve her emotional and/or behavioral issues. In addition, we can also help you address your own feelings and emotions so you don’t get overwhelmed with the situation.
