How behavioural consulting can help your teen thrive
Changing habits is notoriously difficult. It is equally, and at times even more challenging for teens, who are still developing and may not have all the skills they need. Disruptive behaviours, which become entrenched over time, begin to interfere with school, friendships, or harmony within the family unit.
With decades of real-world experience, I work closely with families and service providers to address challenging youth behaviours. Leveraging practical insights beyond what textbooks provide, I help teens develop the adaptive skills needed to succeed emotionally, socially, and academically.
A behavioural consultant can:
- Listen to concerns pertaining to teen’s behaviour
- Provide a behaviour modification plan, strategies and supports
- Teach adaptive skills and practice behaviour change strategies
- Address emotional challenges – self esteem, mood swings, agression, etc.
- Empower parents with effective methods to guide teens
- Support teen independence and autonomy
- Cultivate positive social behaviours and interpersonal skills
