Parenting
Issues
Help with parenting issues is something every parent requires at some point. 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 issues 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.

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.
