Parents and Families of School-Age Kids
For those struggling to build connection and love within their family
Finding peace and building back connections
in your family
You feel awful and you know your child feels awful too. You were keeping it together today and practicing patience -- until he hit his sister. Then you lost it and hauled him to his room. And that’s how you’ve found yourself now holding his door closed while he screams and bangs on the other side. It seems like no matter what you try, his attitude gets worse. And now his teacher is calling to say he’s been talking back and refusing to do his work.
Maybe you’re starting to wonder if he has ADHD or some other diagnosis. You’re realizing his behavior is affecting the whole family. You’re all on edge and you’re constantly arguing with your partner about how to handle it.
You’ve tried rewards for good behavior and punishment for bad behavior and nothing’s worked. You need help.
