- You have read volumes of parenting books, have read extensively a variety of parenting websites without sustainable success

- You want to really understand your boys and their behavior better, and how you fit into that dynamic

How does it work?
- Each new client participates in an initial free 30 minute 'meet & greet'. During this time we will discuss your situation and decide the best way forward.
- Clients can choose from a range of appointment options depending on their needs.
- Each session can be conducted by Skype or Zoom.
- Meetings are scheduled usually every other week, or as often as needed.
- Based on each session, strategies and a plan of action will be developed and followed up during consecutive sessions.
