Become the Parent You Want to Be
Parenting Support
Parents want what’s best for their kids. You want your kids to be happy and healthy. You want them to grow up to be secure, self-assured and successful adults. You would do anything for them. Yet, you erupt. You lose your cool. You yell and scream because they aren’t listening to you and are just so difficult to deal with sometimes!
Even the most well meaning parents struggle. Parents have the extraordinarily difficult task of managing their own lives - their careers, their marriages, and relationships with friends and families - and then must come home to be fully responsible for the well being of their children. Parents often feel that they are doing everything they can but it’s still not enough. Teachers, coaches, and other family members tell us how we should be doing a better job. Parents may feel that their child’s behavior is a reflection of them as parents.
If you find yourself overly frustrated, stressed, anxious or irritable with your kids, therapy can help provide you with the support that you need to manage your own emotional health. It can provide you with an outlet to discharge your frustration, stress and worries, so that you can be less reactive and more emotionally available to your child. Get the support that you need to become the parent that you want to be.

To be a good parent, you need to take care of yourself first so that you can have the physical and emotional energy to take care of your family. - Michelle Obama
