Dealing with Kid Stuff for ALL Ages
Children have challenges, too!
Our world is now forcing kids to handle a lot of situations that are far beyond their emotional-intellectual capacities.
Daily routines of going to school can become an obstacle course because of learning challenges and even bullying. There is tragedy in their young lives when families and friends’ families split, when parents’ job transfers move them from their comfortable life with friends.
And then the omnipresent social media.
Various behavior problems can be the result of one or more of these factors.
Undeveloped Emotions
Sometimes there are levels of emotions that children cannot work through.
There are nightmares which result from an experience at school. Family disagreements may be so infectious that they destroy the feeling of safety at home.
So children retreat, more games, more de-focusing.
How I Can Help
In therapy, we work to address the anxiety associated with the challenges your child is facing.
Children are made of parts: one part may want to give up, another part just wants someone to get out of their way, another carries a flamethrower or a firehose. We work with all parts, ours included, so we all learn how to work together.
And when the parts work together, your child is free to become who he or she was meant to be.
