Parenting
I have been talking to and with parents for over 15 years in private practice. I have learned a great deal. I hope I have also helped ease family life for those I have been privileged to work with. I suspect I have gleaned more wisdom than I have imparted.
When I started out as a therapist, I was young, and looked even younger. It was suggested that I see children. I then realized that graduate school did not necessarily prepare me for how to actually “do” therapy with children. uh oh. After countless hours of boredom playing board games with children without much effect, I started to listen, educate myself and form something called a treatment plan. I still see children- because it makes a difference, and because many therapists do not. Perhaps they got tired of the board games.
The mom connection. One should pay attention. I have been privileged to work and consult with some very resourceful advocates for children- children who have special medical needs, learning disabilities, or have had different life experiences. I took notes.
