PARENTS

Parent support is an important part of the therapy Kirstin provides. Children experiencing difficulties with their emotions and behaviour present unique parenting challenges that often cause significant stress in families. Kirstin’s work with parents is informed by attachment theory as well as family systems theory and social cognitive theory. Kirstin is able to provide parent support and parent training in behaviour management for parents of children displaying difficult behaviours. Parent training in behaviour management has been shown to be particularly helpful in the treatment of ADHD and other conduct problems.
