Parenting Issues

We all have our strengths and weaknesses as parents. Scheduling professional counseling to focus on parenting does not mean blaming mom or dad. In reality therapy is about understanding a more accurate picture of who we are. What are the strengths, weaknesses and missing parts? A majority of families have things they do well, combined with dysfunctional parts.

New parents, Single parents, Blended families, Divorced parenting issues, and many situations may be helped through counseling. Parenting therapy is a way of putting a picture together in order to understand how to parent in the healthiest way we can. In an age where we face constant demand for our time, talents and resources we have had to learn our priorities - work out what is important to us for our family and our roles as parents. Focusing on Parenting may involve developing insights related to the parent’s family of origin. It may involve education about nurturing emotionally healthy children, or about discipline possibilities. Sometimes achieving balance means increasing structure and at other times it may mean increasing flexibility. Our desire is to strengthen parenting skills as we increase healthy attachment with our children.

Common areas of interest for clients seeking therapy related to parenting are:
  • Resolving conflict
  • Attachment
  • Child development; Ages and Stages
  • Specific parenting issues
  • Discipline & Values
  • Family Communication
  • Child with difficult temperament
  • Psychosocial development
  • Models of Parenting
  • Sibling rivalry
  • Behavior problems
As a clinician, this is the book I most consistently use in my work with parents and children. My clients often tell me they wish they had known about Love and Logic earlier. Parents who are raising very challenging children develop tangible hope that they can still influence their kids. Consistently, I have witnessed positive results with my clients.
 
Reading this book will open parents’ minds to new possibilities that will strengthen their relationships with their children as they continue growing individually and as families.
