We love kids; but kids make a mess. Teens screw up. Moms freak out! It’s inevitable. But you can recover, learn from your mistakes, and move on empowered. Almost thirty years ago when my wife and I were first expecting, we headed off to the local community parenting class. While we learned a lot, the class was small and attended by parents that I thought sounded like good parents already.
Parenting comes with its own challenges for every generation. Often modern parents are wrongly criticized in their schools and in the media for the job they do. If children are unruly, blame the parents; if children are spoiled, it is their parents that enabled them. If you have not noticed, the world has changed. The only real criticism that I have with many parents is not their lack of love or commitment but their great presumption that they should magically know how to raise healthy children. Most of us tend to think, “Hey, I didn’t turn out that badly, so I will just do what my parents did.” Not a good decision! It is just not enough!
Today’s parents have a far greater challenge than just a decade ago. While we are busier and we know more, more is expected of us. At Bayridge we know how much you value your children. We know that you have invested tens of thousands of dollars for education and their care – not to mention countless hours in the dance studios and hockey rinks. At Bayridge we believe some of the greatest gifts you can give your child in the most critical time of their life are a strong sense of self, a confident attitude, the skills to master their thoughts, behaviour and emotions, and the social skills to celebrate community in all its wonder and beauty.
If these things are solidly in place, the world will bow before them as they assertively and proactively write their stories with hope, courage and love.
If you have concerns about your child, because of special needs or parenting concerns, our specialists are here just for you. We have an incredible, seasoned team of child and teen therapists that work with behavioural issues, trauma and transitional challenges. We can start working with you and your child this week. We have worked with thousands of kids just like yours. We would love to work with yours! Why don’t you give us a call?
We’ve supported 35,000+ individuals. We have completed over 300,000 sessions to date. We have a countrywide network of therapists.
Catching negative thought triggers is a significant strategy that therapists at Bayridge use to train children in emotional management.
Bayridge Kids are taught to monitor their heart rate variability through increased self-awareness and learn to turn the dial down when emotionally flooding.
Bayridge Kids has worked with children to increase attention, memory, behavioural control, and focus. This always includes collaboratively working with parents and often teachers.
We believe that in working with children we also must work with the parents. After all, there is no more important influence in their lives than their parent.
Children thrive in safe, secure environments. Separation, divorce, or change can trigger anxiety, depression, or acting out behaviours. It is critical for child development that all small ‘T’ trauma is effectively processed in their brain, memory, and emotions for no lingering effects.
Kids, Control, Chocolates and Cards
Your kid is a beautiful bundle of unpredictability. There are millions, if not billions, of genetic variabilities in the composition of your child. We cannot control what we get in a child. “Life is like a box of chocolates. You don’t know what you will get.” Your child is a gift on life’s adventure. Your child and you have been dealt cards. Your job is to play the hand you have been given.
The benefits of online therapy may outweigh the face-to-face experience. One person explains: I would rather watch an entire streaming series than see only a few in high definition. In other words, the benefit of online allows me to meet regularly and consistently, at my convenience. In the end it is all about finishing well!
Since COVID forced our industry to practice online, client feedback shows online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy, and far more convenient and dependable. (exception: serious and complicated mental health issues.) Hence more and more of our clients prefer online therapy.
We can usually connect you with a therapist within 24 hours.
