Sometimes, consequences are obvious; other times, parents struggle to come up with one for a troublesome behavior. Try this: ask your child to come up with the consequence of a particular behavior. It may not be the most effective solution, but it is rewarding (and sometimes quite entertaining!) as a parent to listen to his ideas. Together, you might just find a solution that works. Alternatively, explain to your child that parenting is a hard job, and parents don't know all the answers. Then, ask your child what he would do if he were a parent and had to solve this problem. Again, you may hear responses that you will treasure forever, and also might just work!
Dr. Franques has been incredible for our family. She takes her time with every visit, listens closely, and never makes us feel rushed - even when we bring in multiple kids at once. She has a calm, confident way of addressing every concern, and her diagnoses have always been accurate and helpful.The practice is organized, friendly, and it's clearly centered around giving families the support they need, but it’s Dr. Franques who makes it truly outstanding. We are so thankful to have her caring for our children.
