If you want to raise successful children, research has found that the number one predictor is a strong parent and child relationship! This group will put you on a path to strengthen this bond. ​

Group Description:

This 8 week group can help parents unlock the mystery to difficult child behaviors, giving parents renewed feelings of success and confidence.  In fact, it helps all of us parents feel the way we want to feel toward our children. ​

This group includes archived taped sessions of other real children interacting with their parents, providing good examples of your child’s moment-to-moment behavior.  Participants will have hands-on practice in identifying emotional cues, reading through miscues, and generating ideas to helping kids feel more secure at home and with their peers.

• Feel happier and more successful with their children ​
