Support and practical solutions for connecting with your child
It is not uncommon for parents to feel locked out and isolated from all that is occurring in their child’s life. During such a sensitive time period, parents will find it beneficial to have their own support network; gaining insight into the intricacies of their child’s mind while learning more successful ways to create connection and understanding within the household.
As a parent, this is not just a time to simply ‘get through.’ This is a time to thrive – to equip yourself with the knowledge, understanding, and awareness it takes to be your child’s main source of stability.
