" Managing Kids and Violent Behaviors"

If you live in Tri-Valley area, tune in to channel 30 to hear host, Robin Fahr, and I discuss some of the challenges that parents and families face regarding aggression and violence.  Pick up a few helpful things to say and do with your children to reduce the stress and develop family connections.

This isn't just a stressful time for adults!  We as family leaders need to be aware of effective strategies for allowing our children to talk about their concerns and specific ways to help them cope with the big struggles they encounter.

When parents want to prevent some of their child's unhealthy reactions to our stressful times, scheduling a few
play therapy sessions can help things go much smoother for everyone in your family.  

Tune in to pick up a few helpful tips!

Where to begin?  If you have ideas that you would like to develop, projects that you want to complete or things that you have always wanted to do but you seem to get stuck...  come in for a few sessions and discover how you can begin to move forward again!  Turn your ideas into reality, at last!

   As a Team We Address: 
- Multi-level assessment of your needs   - What seems to be blocking your way
- Clearly define your goals                     - The challenges of making changes
- What motivates you the most                 - Develop new ways of getting things done

- Utilize your existing strengths              - Reduce overwhelming feelings
- Receive important support & solutions   - Create a personalized plan & strategies
- Learn to pace with your needs              - Manage stress levels more efficiently

Many of us feel a bit stunned or overwhelmed when we begin to think about a big project or a long-standing dream.  With our bigger ideas and desires, it is also harder to imagine the multiple steps that it takes in order to meet those goals.  

So, we are often not sure that we can actually get where we want to go because we can't quite visualize the whole path.  

Then the longer-term goals seem to have their biggest payoff further into the future.  And you know how much we are hooked on that feeling of instant gratification!

Moving Forward Again
So, come to our office for some support and solutions.  Then you can put yourself back on the path of moving forward again and finally completing some of your important projects, goals and dreams!

6-Session Assessment & Solutions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Why do my kids act that way?  They are great kids and really smart, so why do they..."

- Not listen to you when you talk          - Hit you or others  
- School struggles & conflicts              - Fight with siblings
- Have tantrums in public places           - Tell lies and exaggerate the truth

Start the year off on a positive note by finding out what your child is trying to tell you through their coded language of behaviors.  Once parents learn to read their child's behavior more accurately a new level of cooperation and happiness can open up for the whole family. 

Session 1
Includes one or both parents to discuss the issues you are concerned about and an overall history of your child's emotional and physical development.  You will receive suggestions of things that might help at this initial stage. 
These recommendations become more detailed as we move through the six sessions.  

Session 2
Includes your child and one or both parents.  And kids usually love coming in to play.  The issues discussed in Session 1 determine the exact configuration of who attends this session.  Through our play, we begin looking for important clues from your child about what they might be struggling with.

Session 3
Your child comes in for individual
play therapy where we continue to create a safe place together so they can begin exploring what might be going on in their world.  If the child is very young, two or three years old, then it is often most productive to have one parent included in the session as well.

Session 4 & 5
Your child works on expressing their feelings through our therapeutic play and putting feelings into words.  As their sense of safety and trust develops, your child begins the process of resolving some of their issues.

Session 6
Parents come in alone to discuss the improvements and changes they have noticed.  Solutions will be provided that are tailored to you and your child and we will give you recommendations for the steps you might want to take next in order to keep this positive momentum going.
 
Add valuable tools to your problem-solving repertoire in a supportive atmosphere.   We build on your existing strengths as you go through this process of change.  Then the most positive outcomes are made available to you and those you love.

Call our office to learn more about these two important Assessment and Solutions series and to schedule an appointment.  Your child's difficult behaviors are very stressful for them so they will thank you one day for helping them learn how to feel better.  And the same goes for you and your stress too!
