Psychologist, PhD
Parents tend to parent their children the way they were parented or the exact opposite. Neither of these strategies are often successful. Parents of a child who may be neurodivergent or struggling with attention or behavioral issues require specialized support tailored to the child. Parenting can be joyful once a management plan is in place and parents learn how to provide the support their child needs.
