Parent Coaching

Parents want what is best for their children, but it is sometimes difficult to know how to effectively
manage the challenges of raising children.

A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH

Consultation consists of collaborative problem solving. This involves working together to develop a practical plan to address your child’s behavioral and/or emotional difficulties. Dr. Marcus can provide guidance, support, and teach useful strategies in a variety of areas, including:

  • Developing routines and house rules
  • Using positive reinforcement to shape behavior
  • Increasing cooperation and fostering a positive environment in the home
  • Reducing tantrums and other unwanted behavior
  • Active listening and problem-solving
  • Managing parent-teen conflict
  • School placement concerns

 

“There really are places in the heart you don’t even know exist until you love a child.”
