Parenting Support - Just for You

Heading into the holiday season means preparing for more time together at home, which also means more moments of "being seen" in our day-to-day lives.

This is one of our favorite ways to help families reconnect and foster an environment that’s conducive to a variety of sometimes conflicting needs.

Natural or contrived, consequences are difficult for all parents. Whether it’s to identify what the consequence should be or implementing the consequence, it often can feel overwhelming and really just be an undesirable experience.

In our work supporting parents with struggling teens and young adults, we spend time making the distinction between what are the clinically significant behaviors and what are challenging, but age-appropriate behaviors.

Let’s face it, when you have a struggling teen or young adult, the holiday season is just not what it used to be.  We see many trends, challenges and successes through our transitional work with families when it comes to thriving during the holiday season.

There are many concerns surrounding how the holiday will play out, how to manage emotions how to make decisions that will support the whole family system.

At Solutions Parenting Support, we teach our parents that letting go is a learned skill that helps parents get out of habitual emotional parenting and into wise-minded parenting, instead.

Erratic schedules, academic pressures and earlier wake up times can quickly derail summer progress. Here are some of our tips to help you set up a rhythm and routine and to help your family thrive through this transition.

While families are well into their familiar summer routine, here at Solutions Parenting Support, we often receive calls from alumni families with requests for some summer S.O.S.

All too often, kids get home and fall into the same old habits and routines. Upon successfully completing a program, parents are typically given coaching tips and keys to success for a healthy transition back into the mainstream. While this information can be transformative, parents sometimes find it difficult to implement. It is very easy to return to the old way of parenting. So who is there to catch these families that fall through the cracks?

We coach parents on how to manage their child’s access to these tools, encouraging that they start with incrementally introducing children to the parent approved platforms and having a hands on approach to help shape how their children show up in the online world.
