Who needs help with parenting skills?
Parents from many different walks of life may need extra help with their parenting skills. Some of the groups that Bridges frequently helps include:
New parents
Have a newborn? If you’re struggling to find a way to get enough sleep, make sure your baby gets fed, manage your concerns, and make the most of these early days, parental counseling can help you feel and be your best.
Toddler parents
If your child is in their “Terrible Twos” or you suddenly have a “Threenager,” counseling can help you manage these challenging times with less stress.
Parents of older kids and teens
School-aged children change so rapidly that it can be challenging to keep up. Kids may develop difficulties in school, at home, or socially. Counseling can help you preserve a good relationship with your child during trying times.
Parents who share custody
Sharing custody with an ex-partner can be difficult because you don’t have total control. But, parental counseling can help you coordinate with your ex-partner, provide steady support, and feel reassured.
Blended families
Blended family members each have their history, outlook, and experiences. Understanding and respecting individual needs is critical to creating a harmonious atmosphere. Parental counseling can help you create a family atmosphere where everyone feels supported.
What new parenting skills will I learn?
The Bridges team supports you in many ways. They’re your sounding board, always listening with an empathetic ear. In addition, they help you learn the skills you need to help your family thrive, which includes:
- Navigating transitions
- Goal setting
- Boundary setting
- Education about child development
- Conflict resolution
- Self-care skills
The skills you learn are specific to your family’s needs. The team ensures your family has the resources necessary to be as healthy, functional, and happy as possible.
Will my child benefit from my new parenting skills?
Absolutely. Children with parents who put real effort into developing their parenting skills always benefit. You’re the parent, the leader of the household. Your child watches everything you do.
When you show strong leadership and parenting skills, your child observes and learns from it. One day, your child will probably use the same skills to parent their children successfully.
