Most rules can, and should, be discussed within a family. In many homes, a rule not up for discussion is that there are no rewards for crying. For example, your child really wants something, and it is refused. Then, your child starts to cry, often very dramatically. As soon as the tears start, the child gives up any negotiating power. Calmly saying, "I'm sorry, we can't even discuss this now," will quickly take the steam out of the crying tactic.
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.
