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

Counseling services are provided for children of all ages at The Kid Connection. The therapeutic approach (play or activity therapy) will vary depending upon the child’s age.

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. Social skills classes are one hour sessions that meet once a week, and are conducted on an eight-week cycle. Classes are assigned to match the age of your child and appropriate peers.

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

Making eye contact

Initiating interactions such as play, conversation, etc.

Taking turns

Understanding other people’s body language such as facial expressions

Understanding emotions and expressing emotions

Friendship building

Do you wish…

You had a better relationship with your child?

You laughed with your child more than you yelled?

You had positive discipline tools that REALLY worked?

Let’s face it… Parenting can be HARD.
At The Kid Connection, we offer group parenting workshops as well as individual parenting coaching sessions.

Coaching Sessions can be completed during daytime hours when kids are at school, and can be conducted virtually or in person, to maximize ease.

At The Kid Connection, we believe that confident, capable kids are derived from confident, capable parents, and we can help each parent recognize their value and worth with parent coaching.

Being able to manage emotions seems like a simple task, but it’s actually not that easy, especially for growing teenagers.

There’s a lot to understand for a teen when it comes to their feelings, managing stress, using coping strategies at the appropriate times, problem-solving through challenges, and knowing when to ask for help.

Teens don’t always know exactly how to manage those feelings, which is why The Kid Connection would like to offer a course to help support teens as they face these challenges.
