I have been counselling families for many years over the difficult issues that can arise in their daily lives.
Children are Vulnerable
- Underachievement in Studies
- Poor communication skills in the family
- Not always understood by parents
- Peer pressure – Drugs
- Striving for an identity
Parents are Vulnerable too
- Parent relationship breakdown.
- Tensions and upsets with the children
- Lack of know-how and harmony in solving problems
- Children not coping at school
- Children exposed to drugs and alcohol
A Parent should lead by example in the family if possible. This involves staying calm and approachable.
Parents want the best for their children, but they don’t always know how to help.
