You Want the Best for Your Child

Nothing hurts more as a parent than to see your child struggle. Your children are your greatest joy and vulnerability.

The world is so much different from when you were a kid – it’s harder. And it isn’t easy to know how best to help.

Kids aren’t great about telling us what’s wrong all the time, so they show us.

But by the time you’re aware, things may have gotten a lot worse.

Parenting is Rough

You get a 45-page manual written in 10 different languages when you buy a microwave, yet you take your baby home from the hospital, and it feels like you’re left to wing it.

It’s no understatement to say that knowing what to do as a parent can seem more like reading tea leaves at times.

Do time-outs work? What about reward charts or positive reinforcement? Is taking away something a good idea? Should you talk to friends about what to do? Perhaps you should buy a book, but which one?

Meanwhile, the tears and tantrums continue to take their toll on you and everyone else in your household.

Give Your Child Skills that Work for a Lifetime

Imagine when you were a child that someone taught you how to deal with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings like worry and anxiety, manage stress, have healthy relationships and strong self-esteem, and make better decisions?

Learning new skills changes the brain and is an opportunity to change your child’s future for the better.

Stressed and Anxious Kids

The world is stressful right now, and kids quickly absorb what’s going on around them.

Anxiety is particularly debilitating for children and can show up in various forms, such as anger, worry, behavior problems, forgetfulness, poor concentration, social difficulties, obsessive thinking, and even shyness.

Learning Takes Practice

Children can learn skills to deal with the inevitable bumps and bruises they’re sure to encounter in life.

By teaching kids about the process of worry, and using mindfulness and relaxation skills to manage anxiety, they can become better able to tolerate uncertainty and deal with new worries when they emerge.

Wild Child Wellness offers a fun and interactive individualized program designed to teach cognitive strategies to deal with stress, anxiety, and other negative emotions. Virtual Reality Therapy is used to teach mindfulness and relaxation skills, and help with focus and concentration.

Children will learn how feelings impact thoughts and how to cope with uncomfortable thoughts and emotions. They’ll be able to identify their values and learn to use them to problem solve, resolve conflict, and overcome challenges.
