The Why’s
There is more to your child’s behavior than what you see on the surface. Every human body is a unified multi-dimensional creation. Behaviors, both those deemed as acceptable and unacceptable, originate from one of those dimensions. The dimensions are defined as the physical (body health), mental (what your thoughts are creating in your life), emotional (self-esteem), and spiritual (your connection to a higher power).
As a society, we are very quick to label the action instead of looking for the root cause beneath the action. Being a parent can be the hardest job you will ever choose to take on. When that tiny soul enters your life, the last thing you are thinking of are any stumbling blocks that might present themselves as your child grows up. But there will be bumps in the road. That’s just life. Those bumps may show up as unexplained fears; outright disobedience; rule breaking; trouble paying attention; exhibiting risky, dangerous, repetitive, rigid, strange, or obsessive behaviors; and/or appearing to be impulsive and/or hyperactive.
When these behaviors or actions present themselves, it is how a parent or teacher responds to them that determines the outcome. If the traditional medical route is followed, your child will most likely be prescribed a psychotropic medication that comes with a trailer load of potentially dangerous side effects. I would like to offer you another solution that starts with understanding who your authentic child really is.
Finding the answers your family needs is a process – One Step at a Time
Next Steps
Step One
When was the first time you observed the behaviors that led to your child’s diagnosis or a teacher suggested to you that you should have your child evaluated for a disorder?
What was going on in your life?
What was going on in your child’s life?
You may be wondering why I ask that…
I asked because there is a difference between your child’s perspective and your perspective. Perspectives are formed by one’s environment and life experience, and your child has had much less time to form their personal point of view. Most of their early life they have been subjected to adults telling them what their perspective should be.
Step Two
Today’s authentic children understand so much more than they are given credit for, because adults so often fail to listen. Instead of looking for a label that will explain your child’s actions, get to know them, as an individual, on a deeper level.
Talk to them in a non-judgmental way.
Step Three
Then listen – really listen – you may be surprised at what you learn.
The More You Know
To identify the solutions you and your family need, we go back to the beginning. Together, we will open the doors that have hidden the answers you seek.
I will be an impartial witness allowing both you and your child the ability to ‘see’ the situation from the other’s perspective. This will be a no judgment zone. There will never be any blame assigned. I will offer support as conscious changes are being made in each person’s life – changes in the overall home environment, changes in the classroom, changes in perspective – together, these changes will empower both parent and child to get to know, to honestly be, their authentic selves.
It would be my honor to guide you and your child through this journey to find the root cause of the disruptive behaviors that have led to the diagnosis your child has been labeled with.
