Why the "Problem Child" Is Really Parent or Caregiver Need

Children want to be successful.

However, adults, while well-intentioned, can impugn the child’s ability to thrive. They can be impugned by something as simple as wording, it isn’t necessarily something that is a big problem or significantly damaging.

I have worked with children from all walks of life and the one constant thing I see is that the problem child’s behaviors typically disappear when the caregiver or parent makes little changes to meet the child more where s/he is at instead of attempting to force the child to come to where the parent/caregiver is.

NHPS specializes in working with families and caregivers that have a “problem child”. We focus on children with a few unwanted behaviors up to having substantial unwanted and unsafe behaviors. While it can seem impossible at times, it is completely possible to change these behaviors into positive ones and alleviate most, if not, all of the stress parents and caregivers feel when parenting their child.

Parents and caregivers are amazing, compassionate individuals who always act with their hearts first. We always recognize their position as experts of their child. However, sometimes love isn’t enough and that is when we see behaviors rise. This is where NHPS can step in and support the behaviors of the “problem child”.
