Children & Adolescents and Parent Training We all have one common goal for our children; we want them to be happy. My work with parents and children includes: * providing emotion coaching for the parent and child * strengthening the marital relationship in order to provide a model for healthy communication and stress management * exploring the impact of the parents’ own childhood struggles on their capacity to parent effectively * creating an atmosphere where the parent and child feel respected, understood and validated * improving parental understanding of their child’s development * designing effective behavior plans for increasing a child’s positive emotions experiences and behavior
