PARENTING DIFFICULT KIDS—EFFECTIVE WAYS TO TURN AROUND YOUR CHILD’S ATTITUDES
 
Highly skilled therapeutic counseling for parents who are frustrated with parenting their challenging children and/or stepchildren  Are you stuck on what to say and do when your child acts out? Has your child tuned out?  Disappears into the computer and texting? Are you seeing an escalation of defiant, avoidant or obnoxious behaviors? If so, family counseling is for you. I specialize working with parents who see their kids demonstrate some of these behaviors:
 
* Academic problems
* Depression, anxiety or anger issues
* Fights at school
* Disrespectful attitudes towards authority figures
* Questionable friends
* Refusal to follow rules
* Problems with the law
 
* Electronic addictions (texting, computers, tv)           
* Drug or alcohol experimenting
* Kids can’t explain their troubling behaviors
 
* Teachers and caregivers express concern  
* Learning and/or attention disorders
* Volatile temperament
* Family problems (such as depression, substance abuse, marital strife)
