Therapiutic Approaches:
Parents should do very little. Sit there- which is very difficult. Keys are - remain regulated. Wait for a better moment to teach. Maintain Safety, even physically if someone is going to hit. Parenting is hard. Bring parent training into therapy. Parents needs too - self soothing. Ground parents - breathing. Emotional regulation. What can parents do? Limit setting and discipline, in a matter of fact way. What does it mean to take a stand? Critical to learning; cycle of conflict and resolution repair and growth is possible. If not children may see themselves as unloveable and even bad. Children will learn to stand up for themselves, respect differences, effective communication, emotion regulation; confidence in navigating discord. Stay chill, wait for child to calm down. Usually 8 sessions and sometimes much more. Some get in going for help and most seen for many years, figuring out what works. A way for children to regulate - can be sitting in the room - not punishment but get back on track - less frequent, less intense; less in duration.
