Parenting Therapy and Counseling Services

to Improve Parenting Knowledge and Skills

Per the Cambridge Dictionary, parenting is “the raising of children and all the responsibilities and activities involved in it”.

Wow!! We hear many parents say things like “children don’t have instruction manuals” or “I just don’t know what to do when….” or “I see my children struggling and what I’m doing does not seem to help” or other statements that convey a sense of unknown or helplessness with a strong desire to raise successful, loving, compassionate, respectful children. With this said we at Bay Breeze know that we do the best we can with what we have. We believe that the majority of us learned from our own parents or caregivers through observation and interactions, so if your parents or caregivers did not know how to teach these traits how would we know how to teach such to our children. We have therapist trained in Conscious Discipline and Circle of Security. In summary, both help the adult parent identify missing skills and begin to “parent” out of love while understanding their own personal triggers that limit their use of skills. Once you know and can access the skills, you can teach it.
