Parent Counselling.
Parenting is a HARD job! Kids don't come with an instruction manual, which may leave you feeling lost and under-qualified for this position. With an added bonus that each of your kids is different and responds to your efforts, discipline and love in a different way, how are you supposed to do this thing?
You may feel pressure to measure up to the expectations that friends, family, or Instagram put on you as a parent, and you feel like you keep missing the mark.
So why then do we all seem to think that looking for help is a bad thing? Consider this...if your child is alive and growing you are doing the job! You are a parent! Now what? You can read some books, you can watch some videos, but how do you actually practice what you learn there?
Every time you turn around there is a new challenge and you can only google so many answers before you lose faith in the answers you are finding. What actually works? How do you make it work for your family?
Let’s work together to figure it out. We know that letting someone new into your challenges can be scary. We also know that no one knows your family like you do, and so it’s our job to help you move forward in a way that fits. We work with parents to develop skills that will help them respond to their children in a way that will help the child build understanding and expression of their emotions; it will de-escalate conflict and create strong emotional ties between parent and child.
