Parenting

 Everyone wants a happy family and wonderful children who make smart choices.  It's a journey and it's not an easy one.  There are many styles of parenting that work, but communication is part of every single one of them.  The best-kept secret to getting it right is this:  the only weapon you really have in keeping your children safe from making terrifying choices is your relationship with them.    Is my child normal?   Probably.  We can teach you a whole new way of thinking about parenting as a partnership. 

We can also do assessments of children and give you resources on what to do next if you need a bit of extra help.

Example Focus Areas :

• Turning Defiance into Collaboration
