Challenges facing children and families
The average child receives only 12.5 minutes per day in communication with his/her parents. On the average a child receives 400 negative comments compared to only 32 positive comments per day. In a study of children ages 1-12, the single most important determinant of childrens' self-esteem is the perception of how much they are valued by their parents.
Children create a tremendous challenge for adults. Effective strategies for today’s adult/child relationships can make parenting a lot more fun. Redirecting Children provide successful, easy to use strategies to deal with the stresses in today’s family. Families can be a source of rejuvenation, fun and encouragement. More than communication training, our parenting techniques will improve challenging behaviour while enhancing your child’s self-esteem.
A balanced approach
In our fast-paced society adults and children spend much of their time in separate environments. We all want to make the most of the time we have together. However, it can become difficult for us to give or get what we want from our relationships. We can help you to have the kind of relationship with your children you have dreamed of, and you can help them develop skills to become loving, motivated and successful adults.
