Every parent will experience the joys and sorrows of parenting. As with many other experiences in life, parenting is full of compexities and paradoxes. Discussing family issues with a trained therapist can many times help to bring about a loving solution.

Parenting can be both very rewarding and also frustrating at times. As a dad myself, but also as a former child/family skills worker, I have some strategies to share about setting expectations and natural consequences for kids, while still maintaining empathy for their feelings.
