Why are some children more resilient than others?

​

Resilient children make it through childhood and adolescence with fewer emotional scars. We can work together to help your child manage conflicts effectively so that s/he can foster healthier friendships and improve self-esteem.

 

Whether your child is getting bullied or is the bully, I can help bring about change. Age appropriate strategies are critical. Learning how to make and keep friends is a valuable lesson that will have long lasting results.  

 

When working with children, my approach focuses on both the child and the parents.  For children, I use play therapy techniques and make therapy fun to help them manage their stress, anxiety, sadness, and to help them gain confidence. For parents, who often feel powerless when dealing with children who need to be validated, I can help them reestablish their parental authority by teaching them tools beyond the sticker chart.
