Being a parent is a very rewarding yet taxing experience in today’s fast-paced world. Mothers and fathers often find themselves confused and unable to deal with the complexities of being a parent. With the extensive parenting literature and infinite number of parenting books and articles, it is very difficult for today’s parents to decide who to listen to, what to do, and what not to do in order to raise physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy children.
Every step of this way is challenging for different reasons and today, most parents feel the need of getting parent counselling and psychological support from professionals.
Parent counselling is a service aiming to:
- provide parents with a safe space to discuss their parenting experience and family dynamics.
- improve parents’ knowledge regarding child development as well as developmental issues youth might experience
- provide parents with all the knowledge and tools they need while raising their children
- help parents increase their awareness of their inherent parenting style and its effects on the family dynamics
- teach parents better communication and problem-solving skills
- help parents navigate conflict within family without hurting family members or themselves
- remove the pressure of being a perfect parent, helping parents to be “a good enough” parent who knows how to emotionally support their children.
