Feeling lost with what to do with your child's behavior?
Does your child feel like they are spinning out of control?
Are you seeing signs of unhappiness or anxiety in your child?
Is your child struggling in school or making friends?
As parents, we want what is best for our children. We protect and love them, yet still we may feel like it is not enough. Sometimes we feel like we have lost control and are powerless with our children. We want to help them and maybe we just don't know what to say or where to start.
Using Sandtray, Yoga, and Child-Centered Play Therapy, Amanda is able to offer many appealing alternatives to traditional talk therapy. In Amanda's work with children she has found that talk therapies tend to shut children down, while these specialized techniques allow children to open up and share their struggles.
Not all children have the verbal skills or understanding to tell us what is happening inside of them. We often see children acting out, rebelling, or completely shutting down when they are processing through something that is troubling them.
