Child/Adolescent/Family/Parenting
We all want the best for our children, so it's difficult to watch as they go off in troubling directions. Your formerly happy child is anxious, aggressive in the schoolyard, having trouble paying attention in the classroom, or remote and crying all the time. Your formerly interested, motivated adolescent is suddenly failing tests, sad or defiant for no discernable reason.
Your children's behavior may be a signal that something is out of kilter in your family system. Tension in your marriage, serious illness that demands your attention, or the demands of a new job can leave family members reeling. When teachers or other parents bring these changes to your attention, the shame of feeling exposed can make you defensive.
When our expectations of a happy family start to fall apart the loss can be devastating. The feelings of helplessness and responsibility, and the thought that something terrible will happen to your child, can be terrifying. The most intimate things in your life are threatened: your child, your family, and your abilities as a parent. It can seem scary to ask for help.
Therapy can help families understand what's causing the distress, and help you structure your lives in a new way. All parents need help at some point. You can learn simple parenting skills that can have a profound impact on your family's happiness, and regain the excitement you once had about being a parent.
