Problems Addressed
Parenting
- Do you feel like you don't know what to do, or where to turn, to make the
situation better with your child?
- Has your child become difficult, rebellious, irritable, or angry?
- Are you afraid to set limits with your child?
- Do you find communication with them almost impossible?
- Do things just seem overwhelming at times?
It has been said that parenting is the most difficult job, and the most important responsibility, you will ever have in your life. Unfortunately, you receive little or no formal training in parenting, yet you are constantly criticized for every mistake you make. Usually, we either do what our parents did, or we do the exact opposite, depending on our opinion of the parenting we received.
No one provides us with clear guidelines about the right way to parent. There are no classes in school, and childbirth preparation focuses almost entirely on the birth process. After having a child, hospitals provide some basic instruction on the care and feeding of a newborn, but no one teaches you how to nurture, support, guide and educate your child to become a responsible adult. Most of us muddle along on our own.
Developmental psychologists have done research on different parenting styles, the effects of discipline, and how children respond to various people and life events, such as divorce, stepparents, abuse, sibling conflict, poor academic success, bullying, or parental substance abuse. This knowledge has allowed counselors to develop effective treatment interventions for children and families in crisis. But, it also provides a basis for teaching parents how to manage their children's behavior effectively, and how to intervene with specific child and adolescent problems. Counselors can help parents understand what children need from adults to foster their emotional and intellectual development.
We are here and ready to help. We have parenting solutions from early childhood dilemmas to the complex issues of trying to parent adult children.
