Parenting is one of the main tasks in the lives of most of us. Our children are the most important thing to us. Our parenting has fateful implications for the way our children will grow up, and for their ability to be healthy and make the most of their lives.
Sometimes, we look at ourselves as parents, and realize that we are reconstructing the way our parents have raised us, for better or for worse. Consulting with an experienced professional can help us understand our behavior with our children, helping us to be the parents we would like to be.
Parental guidance can help in situations of problematic child behavior or abnormal family relationships. Guidance is a process of joint learning by the therapist and the parents. Following this joint understanding, we think about the appropriate modes of response for each situation. In some cases, parental guidance can solve children’s problems without their attendance. In other situations, the child's attendance in therapy is more vital.
