For Parents
|
Raising a child is a
challenging and rewarding experience. Parents must ensure children are
given opportunities to grow both physically and psychologically.
Fostering social and emotional development provides children skills
critical to navigate the world they live in successfully. Children’s
difficulties with anger, frustration, or concentration can disrupt their
family and school environments. Parents are the strongest advocates for
their children and need resources which can help them understand the
issues faced by their children. Below please find links to resources
focused on children’s social and emotional development and to
organizations which provide information on common childhood disorders.
If the links below do not address the specific questions you have,
please feel free to contact Dr. Schultz at
