Coaching

Do you want to support your child's development in one of the best possible ways? Keep a record of your baby's unique progress, with an online baby book of science-based developmental screenings.

It’s easy, inexpensive, informative, reassuring and helpful.

Here’s how it works:

-You complete an online questionnaire designed for your child’s developmental stage, from birth to five years.
-Our developmental specialist reviews the completed questionnaire and notifies you if further assessment is needed.

Children are confronted with numerous challenging interpersonal situations such as asking adults for help, refusing the requests of others, coping with their own feelings and those of others, giving and receiving compliments, making friends, coping with criticism, and managing stress. Children who are socially skilled are more likely to be well adjusted in many areas of their lives.

Everyone is affected when a child has significant developmental, social or emotional challenges. Whatever the diagnosis – or even if you don’t yet have a diagnosis – if you’re parenting a child with special needs, your entire family feels the impact.

Family coaching addresses the well-being of all of you: parents, siblings and special needs child alike. It’s natural – and necessary – to focus a lot of energy on the child with special needs. But if you neglect yourself, your spouse, or your other children, everyone suffers.

Families are children’s safety net throughout life, and creating a safe space for children to grow and develop is an important part of parenting. However, when parents interpret this as a need to protect children from every stress, hurt, and rejection, they do their children a disservice. Because all parents want the best for their children, they sometimes aggressively pursue their children’s “right” to have the best of everything: schools, teams, music lessons, teachers, vacations, even friends.

Compassion is defined as understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it. Children develop the capacity for compassion in middle childhood: the emotional and cognitive skills of empathy, problem solving, perspective taking, and generosity towards others. Failure to develop compassion by age 11 or 12 often results in significant challenges in adolescence and beyond, when teens are more likely to be unpopular and to do poorly in school. Compassion is at the root of meaningful, lasting relationships and is a key ingredient of mental and emotional well-being.

Your community substantially influences your family’s well-being. The types of mental health issues families face, their likelihood of being overweight or suffering from eating disorders, their risk of alcohol or drug use, and the amount of aggression children display – all of these vary by neighborhood.
