Below are some of the questions parents ask me to address in my clinical work with them and their teenagers. I would be happy to discuss these or any other concerns you might have:
Academic Performance
- How can I get my teenager to earn better grades?
- Can my teen learn to be more confident when taking tests?
- Is it possible for my son to improve his attention and get organized?
- How can I get my daughter back to school?
- What do I do about a motivation problem? My teen doesn’t seem to want to grow up.
Coping and Mood Issues
- Does my son have a drug/alcohol problem?
- My daughter doesn’t like the way she looks. How can I help her?
- My son spend lots of time with friends who get into trouble. What do I do about that?
- I think my daughter cuts herself. Is she depressed?
- How do we help our kids cope with our divorce?
Parent-Child Relationship
- My kid won’t talk to me. How do I find out what’s going on?
- Why is my son so angry and disrespectful?
- How can my teen and I get along better?
- I’m divorced and my son won’t spend time with his father. How do I get them together?
- Why does my daughter refuse to answer my phone calls, emails, and texts?
Structuring and Disciplining
- How do I get my adolescent to do what I ask?
- How should I punish for refusal to comply?
- How much pressure should I put on my teen to get his schoolwork done and turned in?
- Should I let my teenager come and go as he pleases just because he’s 18?
- How can I get my child to cut back on playing video games, surfing the Internet, or texting?
