Young Children
A guide comes in handy
Parenting isn’t easy. It is an ever-changing role where some deal of frustration and confusion is inevitable. But it doesn’t have to involve suffering. With the right support and guidance, you will be able to find the answers to parenting questions that may make a difference. Questions like:
– Do we need to take things away so they will learn?
– Do we need to show them more attention?
– Is tough love the right approach?
– Do we need to set stronger boundaries?

When we can see our children are having a hard time, our first instinct is to jump in and try to address the issue. You try to do anything at your disposal for them to be happy and fulfil their potential. You negotiate with them, talk to friends, consult with the school, etc.
However nothing seems to work and you spend a lot of time worrying about how you can best help your child. Maybe they see you as their worst enemy, when all you want to do is to help them thrive. Maybe you are frustrated with their lack of respect and disobedience.
You might have thoughts like – “will this behavior go away as they mature?”, “am I doing something wrong or is this just what they are like?”, “where did the joyful and playful kid I knew go?”
Effective behavior management is possible
I have extensive training and experience in helping parents navigate these difficulties and manage their children’s behavior.
Chances are, your children also want to thrive and feel connected to you. But it is not always easy to know how to build a connection with children as the grow older. The drastic and fast paced changes they endure can cause challenging emotions that they don’t know how to handle. Likewise, experiencing a traumatic or otherwise painful event can also lead to intense feelings that they don’t know how to deal manage.
This pain and confusion is usually at the source of the mood swings, isolation, aggression or risky behaviors.
