Parenting is challenging.
There’s so much advice and information, often conflicting, about how to be a good parent. You worry about whether you’re doing the right things for your child, or if he’s happy.
When you sense, or are told, “something” is wrong with your child, you are immediately concerned.
When you know something isn’t right in her world, you think, “What can I do to help my baby?”
Not knowing how to help is frustrating.
One of the hardest parts of being a parent is watching your child go through something really tough or painful and not being able to fix it for them.
You struggle with whether you should jump in to “save” him or let him work it out independently.
There is often a seemingly fine line between helping too much and not enough.
No one told you parenting would be so challenging!
Call me to help you figure it out.
When the Path Seems Uncertain
Parenting becomes even more complex when your child has a special need, learning problem, developmental disability, or medical condition.
As little prepared for the rollercoaster of parenting most parents feel, when your child is “not typical” the path is often less clear.
It’s like visiting a foreign country, with a new language, culture, and landscape. At first, you feel fearful and unprepared for this new world. As you adjust to this new situation, there seem too many choices to make, options to consider.
It’s even worse when there aren’t many choices. It can be extremely scary and overwhelming.
It feels like making a wrong decision could have devastating results.
Your child is struggling either emotionally or physically or both.
The consequences of your decisions can have long-lasting effects for your child, family, and you.
You need practical and emotional help! Call me today.
When You Don’t Know How to Help
Your child or teen’s behavior suddenly changes.
She always seemed so well-adjusted and happy.
Then, in what seems like the blink of an eye, she acts irritable, angry, unhappy, or withdrawn. She no longer tells you about her day or life. She wants to spend hours alone in her room.
There always seems to be conflict in your home.
You know something is wrong.
She won’t tell you what it is – if she even knows herself.
There may be other signs that something’s wrong, like decreasing grades or weight loss. It’s even more perplexing when there aren’t other visible signs of a problem.
Your parenting sixth sense is screaming at you to do something, but you don’t know what to do.

About Me
“Mom watch out!”
In an instant, a full glass of ice-cold milk landed on my head and shoulders.
Before I could react from the shock, my older son exclaimed, “Wow, great spill!”
My three sons, husband, and I, laughed hysterically. Indeed, it was an epic spill.
Welcome to dinner at my house.
