Parents seek counseling for their children for a variety of reasons and some of these may be to address fears, anxiety, bullying, adjustment to a life change, behavior problems, or relationship difficulties.

We work closely with parents to help them understand their child’s behavior and how to help their child flourish at home and at school.
By choosing counseling, you are equipping your child with the tools and strategies necessary to reach their full potential.

Peer relationships and the ability to relate to others are critical for the emotional development of all children.
The Kid Connection developed this course with the goal of helping your child to increase social interaction, social awareness, and self confidence through games and guided therapeutic instruction.

The following are some examples of the social skills targeted for intervention:

Making eye contact

Initiating interactions such as play, conversation, etc.

Taking turns
