Fairfield therapist makes school holidays easier

While negotiating the school holidays can be a challenge for parents, turning to a Fairfield therapist for practical parenting advice can have a positive impact on the relationship between you and your child.

Parenting is one of the toughest jobs on the planet. Just ask anyone with kids. No matter how dearly you love your children, when they start showing signs of resentment or challenging authority frustration can set in – on both sides of the generation divide. That’s not what you want, especially in the holidays.

Reflection Psychology Group’s Fairfield therapists specialise in practical parenting workshops, teaching parents how to understand what their child is feeling and how to help manage their reactions. And when the workshop – run over three sessions – is complete parents will be armed with evidence-based, practical strategies on important issues including social media and the Internet, bullying, discipline, sleep issues and building a young person’s self-esteem.

The journey from childhood to young adulthood can be a time of constant change and challenge for your youngster. Sometimes the relationship between parent and child can feel like it’s under assault. Boundaries are pushed. Conflict raises its head. And parents can be at a loss on what to do to get things back on track.

That’s why our experienced team of psychologists is dedicated to providing parenting workshops. It’s about improving understanding and supplying strategies to help parents feel more confident in raising their kids. Therapists aim to empower parents, not judge them, giving them guidance and tools that help them to help their children through challenging times.

Perhaps your child is being bullied by peers or struggles with self-image. Perhaps social media is over-running their day or you’re butting heads over curfews and household rules and jobs. Perhaps you don’t even know what the problem is – just that tension’s hovering over the family home like a dark cloud. Or perhaps you’re struggling in the wake of a divorce or a change in family circumstances.

It’s important to realise you can do something about it. And a great first step is signing up for our parenting workshops. Not only will workshop leaders cover issues they believe are practical for parents, you also have an opportunity before the classes start to put forward a handful of topics important to you that you’d like covered.

Every parent goes through periods where they question their actions and approach to parenting. It’s normal. But if you think you could benefit from practical strategies from a Fairfield therapist to help in the raising of your child, then contact us at Reflection Psychology Group. Our therapists are here to help so please book a place in our next practical parenting workshop.
