Signed: Parents of a 6-year-old

Our 6-year-old son has a lot of energy. Sometimes he doesn’t know what to do with his hands, and he has a hard time controlling his emotions. He makes a lot of noises with his mouth without realizing that the noises he hears are coming from him. We had reached a point where we were constantly scolding him; he wouldn’t listen, and the more consequences he faced, the more tantrums he had.

We started seeing Kim a few months ago, and the change in our little one has been remarkable. She spends time with him to discover his strengths, his temperament, and his personality traits. Then, we talk with her to get feedback and learn communication methods and tips that work best with him. The sessions are fun, and he loves coming to see her to play and chat, without realizing he’s being assessed at the same time. The sessions with the parents are great. The conversations our child has with her aren’t shared (to maintain confidentiality), but an analysis of his emotions and tendencies is shared along with recommendations to help us overcome the little challenges we face.

Things at home are improving a lot, and we’re less likely to resort to punishment. Kim’s service has really changed the way we handle things with our little one, and family life is much more enjoyable for everyone.”
