Parent Consultation
Young children’s behavior can often be puzzling. Sometimes a child seems to change overnight from a calm, quiet, loving baby into a defiant, strong-willed, tantrum-prone toddler or from a curious, energetic toddler into a clingy, anxious preschooler. Changes like these can be part of a child’s typical development, and may still be challenging for the parents and caregivers having to manage them. Parent Consultation is way for us to think about a specific challenge, understand the need behind the behavior, and work together to come up with strategies for responding to the child’s needs.
Parent Consultation might be right for you if…
you have specific concerns about your child’s behavior
you’re looking for a shorter-term, solution-focused approach
your child’s teachers or care providers are reporting challenging behaviors
Parent Consultation can include observations of the child and conversations with the child’s teachers or care providers, if appropriate.
