Parenting with Vision

Do you struggle with helping your child persevere through challenges?

Does your child complain about boredom or procrastination?

Do you wish you had language and strategies when you come into conflict with your child?

The level of anxiety and stress in American youth today continues to rise and can contribute to problems in educational performance, social outcomes and overall functioning within our families. As parents, it can be hard to know how to respond to our child’s level of worry in a helpful way. We may not know exactly what to look for, how to help them cope, or when to get professional help. Come learn evidence based approaches for addressing anxiety and stress while strengthening the essential parent-child relationship.
