Looking for a great behavioral therapist in Georgetown Round Rock Cedar Park?
You may be feeling frustrated, not knowing what is reasonable to expect of your child, and how to get them there without making it so difficult or negatively charged that they learn to avoid and oppose automatically.
How does a behavioral therapist in Georgetown, Round Rock, Cedar Park work? I work with parents teaching them new parenting and discipline ideals for them to choose from to experiment with to see what might work better. Typically I will say go ahead and bring your kid(s) with you, so I can try out some of these ideas on your kids while you watch and we talk about it. I don’t see why you should try something I can’t make work with your child(ren) myself. This way I can show you what I mean while I’m telling you. I can show you exactly how to have more positive and energizing interactions, even when unexpected behavior occurs. This improves your relationship, improves self-esteem for both you and your kid, while getting better child compliance results. We don’t want to keep saying things like “Why do you always hit,” or “Why don’t you do what your mother says.” Our words to our children are powerful and can become what they think they are. We don’t want to keep punishing and taking things away. It’s a drain, and it’s not working. I want to help you put more energy into when the problems are not occurring. I’d like to teach you how to be inconsistent, that’s right, I said inconsistent, and apply this idea to supercharge the effectiveness of your discipline system.
When and for whom is a behavioral therapist in Georgetown, Round Rock, or Cedar Park a good idea? Let’s face it, kids often don’t want to come to therapy, and don’t want to change. They want you to change. Give them what they want. Don’t ask them to do things they don’t want to do. Make school or homework go away. Provide digital media access without limits. No more bedtime. They typically may want the world and people around them to change to suit them better, then they would stop being so upset.
Behavioral therapy is applying the best science and art has to offer for motivating a person to do what is expected and stop unexpected behaviors. As I often say to parents of children with ADHD, Autism, ODD, OCD, and severe anxiety, “When they are really motivated, they can overcome whatever obstacles they have to focus and get a task done, at least for a short while.”
You would really prefer to engage in positive, supportive, and relationship-building ways that nurture self-esteem and do not mean you are overly soft or permissive, letting them get away with being lazy and irresponsible.
I can help you get the best from you and your child while having firm boundaries and limits, appropriate and effective consequences, without having to turn your life upside down or quit your day job to get it done. There are few obstacles a person can not overcome when properly motivated.
