Groups
Parenting Groups-ages 3-8
Helping parents to become more effective in how they interact with their children enabling more appropriate behaviors, self-esteem and an " I can do it attitude" building confidence and "healthy interacting". Parents learn the "win-win" way of parenting where children earn their privileges rather than expect them. All children deserve love, food, clothing (non-designer) and shelter. All other activities are earned just like adults have to go to work to get money. Children earn their privileges by fulfilling their responsibilities (brushing teeth, going to bed on time, playing appropriately, doing homework, etc) which builds self confidence and esteem.

Parenting Group for Teens
We want to enable our teen to become independent and self sufficient. At the same time, we want them to make good judgements that influence their behaviors and self esteem. The part of the brain that controls judgment doesn't fully develop till 23 year old. This explains why many teen act so impulsively. Dr. Pitta will enable parents to help their teens develop in an orderly and disciplined manner to develop into productive, emotionally regulated and caring adults. This group will provide parents with an opportunity to process their thoughts, feeling and actions to help you parent more effectively.
