Learn More About My Positive Parenting Approach

Parenting Therapy Includes:

☀️ Setting Goals
We will get right to work, by discussing goals, theory, and identifying desired “qualities of greatness” you would like to grow in your children.

☀️ Looking For Evidence
Next, we look for evidence that these “qualities of greatness” already exist in your child. Then we highlight these strengths, which is like “watering and nurturing seeds” in order to grow desired behavior and qualities. We use this positive parenting approach, rather than focusing on, and "weeding out”, problems. We leverage and increase positive behavior through attention and targeted enthusiasm.

☀️ Practicing By Giving Yourself Positive Attention First
In each parenting session, I typically begin with the same positive focus on the parents’ growth and success. I ask that parents notice and name their own strengths each week, thereby starting on a positive note and putting theory into practice. This both demonstrates the method and conveys how it feels (and works) to be on the receiving end of the recognition.

☀️ Learning by watching, role playing, and repetition
Bring your examples, successes and failures, and we will practice. I will model the techniques and coach you in practicing until the techniques become second nature.

Although the theory is simple, it takes practice and guidance to master these skills and remember to apply them when feelings get in the way. Working with an experienced parenting therapist will be well worth the effort as you watch the results grow.
