The infancy and early childhood period is critical for emotional and behavioral development. Both ordinary and challenging events such as sleep and eating routines, school entry, family separations and conflict, illness, or trauma can push development and relationships off track, leading to worrisome problems at home and school. Young children speak their own language-- one that is not always easy to decode. I work with children ages 0 to 10 and their caregivers to understand the meaning of behavior problems and symptoms and help caregivers work with child and with one another to get development back on track.

It starts by talking about situations in your life, learning about other solutions to your issues and finding positive ways to approach your goals instead of, "doing what you have always done."
