In issues with children’s or adolescents’ behaviour, I will typically see parents first to assess the situation and determine the best approach. Because people lead busy lives and want solutions quickly, I often will assess and give feedback about the situation and then offer solutions in a two or three-hour session. Contact me to discuss.
If you have minor issues or want general parenting support then reading my book The Bonsai Child may be a good start. The book lists causes and solutions to child and adolescent behaviour problems cause by modern parenting trends. You can purchase it here.
