A MESSAGE FROM HILLARY
Parenting is hard. It’s even more difficult when you have a child with big emotions that are out of control and you don’t know what to do. Your child may be struggling with outbursts of anger, kicking, screaming, and aggression.
Or they could be shutting down and losing interest in things they used to enjoy. You’ve done everything you can think of doing to help your child, but nothing seems to work.
As a mother of young children myself, I know how overwhelming parenting can feel at times. Over the past 7 years, I’ve helped hundreds of children manage their emotions and equipped parents with tools to help understand their child and connect with them.
If you want to see your child manage their big emotions, schedule an appointment today.
