PARENTING: A "HOW TO" APPROACH
 
     
  Most of us will be parents at some times in our lives. We all know someone who has had parenting problems or who have them now. When you have children and feel that you are failing as a parent, you find that it is the most difficult problem to confront and cope with. There are so many forms of treatment out there, and yet, many continue to suffer in silence and without relief from their parenting problems.  
     
  Alot of people do not know how to get help for their parenting difficulties. There are programs available which help parents. We offer the excellent programs and we offer programs for singles and couples monthly in our practice.  
     
  A lot of people try talk therapy or peer support and this can certainly be helpful. There are crisis hotlines, chat rooms and telephone counseling and internet counseling services available to assist you in the comfort and safety of your home. Often, just talking about your parenting difficulties can help. Our web site offers Bulletin Board topics on parenting where you can get free advice about parenting. We also offer parenting skill development workshops and therapy services to assist you to deal with your parenting concerns.  
     
  Finally, whatever you think about your parenting skills, please DO SOMETHING! It is important to treat your parenting concerns and to not let them go unattended to. Here is a link to our available self help program page, The Self-Help Store, where you can purchase a program to learn more about your parenting. In addition, our Bulletin Board can offer you an opportunity to talk with others about your parenting skills and concerns.  
     
  Please use the internet effectively to get the information that you need to learn about anxiety and other mood disorders. Just typing in "parenting" will take you to numerous resources for you to explore and to get information from. Please learn more about yourself and your parenting. Please feel free to email us at our web site so that we can provide you with more information and services if you need them.
