Preparing for the Milestones
“As your kids grow they may forget what you said, but won’t forget how you made the feel. ”
So you’ve learned you are about to have a new addition to your family! This is truly an exciting and anxiety provoking time in any parent’s life. At Accord Counseling we will work through typical childhood milestones and develop parenting strategies to meet your new addition’s needs. We will explore childhood growth and development and determine when to be concerned and what to do about these concerns. Together we will examine every milestone from strategies to aid sleeping through the night, child proofing the home, “terrible twos and terrific threes” and all other milestones. We will discuss strategies for establishing a secure and healthy attachment, managing sibling conflict, co-parenting and more. We will also discuss self care for parents, setting boundaries, managing your adult relationships, as well as re-entry to the work force, managing the “parent glass ceiling” at work, and the illusive “work/ life balance”, If you need assistance in these or other topics reach out and schedule a free 15 minute consultation or an initial appointment.
