The teacher called again. Your worry that your child may repeat the grade or even worse get expelled from school because of his frequent behavior problems. Your child often acts on impulse, refuses to follow directions, slams doors, lashes out, or breaks property. You have tried talking, ignoring, compromising, yelling, or spanking as a last resort. Afterward, you may have felt frustrated or disappointed with yourself because this is not your preferred way of rearing your children. Perhaps your teen is depressed, withdrawn, guarded, or anxious and is reluctant to participate in therapy.If you would like for your child to be able to cope better with his emotions, improve his/her behavior in school or other settings, get along well with others, or to be able to tell you what he/she really needs, then I can be of help. If these scenarios resonate, you are not alone and you are taking the right step to positive change.
