Description

The impetus for The Successful Parent comes from 45 years of combined experience in providing psychotherapy for parents, children, and families.

In the first example, it is likely that this youngster doesn't have any idea as to what it takes to rent an apartment, pay the security deposit and first and last month's rent, and then pay the other associated bills such as utilities, phone, cable, etc. If his parents tried to reason with him about this, he would probably say something along the lines of "I'll get a roommate and a job. It'll be cake!" The second example is even more unrealistic.

By using this method as opposed to the lecture route you are accomplishing two goals at the same time. First, you are making the points you would have made in your lecture, only this way they will be heard because your son will have the experience of learning the information first hand. Secondly, you are encouraging his desire for independence while also giving him the tools to think about the steps involved in making his adult fantasy an adult reality that includes responsibility and hard work.

You will find solutions to the everyday problems posed in parenting your children successfully. The approach is one of problem-solving in which problems are concretely outlined, and suggestions for their solutions are provided. The ability to correctly perceive and assess a problematic situation, and then identify the steps to solve the problem, is a skill that is most important to you and your child. We will show you how developmental stages and tasks can be used to enhance the growth of problem-solving skills at each stage, to provide the solutions you need.
