Challenges & Solutions

All teens are sad, anxious, irritable, or disrespectful at times. They may seem withdrawn or distant from time to time. In most cases, these are just typical phases in their development. However, persistent troubling behaviors may indicate a more serious problem. Without attention, these mental health conditions can prevent teens from reaching their full potential and may even indicate they are at risk of unsafe behavior or self-harm. 

Whether your child is doing fine and you want to prevent future mental health issues, or they just don’t seem like their usual self, or they have actually declared concerning thoughts, you can help.

Challenges & Solutions

Do morning routines drive you a little crazy? Does trash only get taken out after a zillion reminders? Stop the nagging, complaining, and punishing. Consider positive discipline and the practical strategies that support children to be more responsible. Parents who focus on the negative tend to have less time to meaningfully connect with their children. There are many positive discipline parenting tools that will help to create smoother family routines. These same tools will also help your children to be more responsible. Join other parents to learn how rules, routines and positive discipline instead of punishment will lead to a better connection with your children.

Perfectionism and Your Family: Find Calm, Connection and Cooperation in Letting Go

Expert

Challenges & Solutions

It has been said that perfectionism is a trait that makes life an endless report card on accomplishments or appearances. Join us to discover how perfectionism can affect you and your children, and strategies that you can use to reduce it within your family.  The tendency toward perfectionism has increased significantly among young people over the past 30 years. It can be associated with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and even suicide. The needs to feel accepted and to be cared about tend to drive perfectionism and without treatment, may get worse over time. 

Perfectionists strive for flawlessness in themselves and/or in others. If you’re wondering whether you have these tendencies, the chances are that you do to one degree or another.

Join us on LinkedIn for this expert-led panel discussion

Child and adolescent therapists tend to differ widely in their approaches to including parents in treatment. However it can make a difference when you understand your child’s goals in therapy, adjust parenting approaches based on consideration of your child’s challenges and recognize when your child is or isn’t making progress. Sometimes as parents we need to consider whether we have mental health challenges that may be affecting our child. Parent involvement in therapy varies based on age, strategies being used by the therapist and parent capacities. This conversation will highlight some best practices for parents who have children in therapy and answer any and all questions you may have about your child’s therapy experience.

Does any of this sound like your child? 

  1. Clinging, crying and/or tantrums when you separate 
  2. Excessive shyness, avoiding social situations 
  3. Constant worry 
  4. Avoiding situations or places because of fears 
  5. Complaints of frequent stomach aches or headaches 
  6. Sudden and frequent panic attacks 

Your child may be struggling with anxiety. And you may feel frustrated and helpless. You are not alone. One in three children will experience an anxiety disorder before adulthood. Unless treated, many will grow up to be anxious adults.

Maybe you want to be more patient. Maybe you want to stop yelling, threatening and/or punishing. You wonder how to get cooperation without those old standby methods. Our experts have the answers you need. 

Mountains of research has shown that children are built to seek connection with their caregivers. They want your attention and actually need it to thrive. So you’ll get more of whatever behaviors you give attention to. However most parents give a lot more attention to challenging behaviors than to the behavior that they want. So they are actually rewarding the behavior they don’t want even with negative attention. It’s how kids’ brains work. 

Most importantly, building strong positive connections with your children is the foundation of not only cooperation but overall wellbeing today and in the future. So threatening and punishing may scare your kids into following directions but that can harm your relationship and their self-worth. You’ve also probably noticed that those approaches don’t lead to long-term behavior change.
