Parenting Challenges? I can helpAll parents struggle at times. Despite bringing much joy, children can also be difficult, frustrating and overwhelming. A child's defiance, disrespect and challenging behavior can quickly trigger a parent into yelling and imposing consequences. Not only does this response not work very well to change their behavior, but it makes us feel bad about ourselves and disconnected from our child.
Imagine having a simple framework that guides you in every parenting challenge. A framework that is tailored to your particular family and brings out the best in both you and your child. I'm Karen Kraut, a parenting coach and expert in the transformative, evidence-based approach called Collaborative Problem Solving. I give parents practical, concrete tools to relate better to their kids, reduce challenging behavior, and build their child/teen's skills in self-regulation, communication and problem-solving. Rather than using power, control and motivators, I offer a radically different understanding of challenging kids and an effective, positive approach to parenting. |
