Overview
Parenting counseling is a type of service that aims to provide the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and most especially support to parents without bias or judgment. This way, they become more fully equipped to take care of their children.
Parenting counseling offers modalities or therapies that help parents gain a better understanding of their parenting style, face and eventually conquer their personal issues, and even restore the family, bringing back harmony and peace in the household.
Who Should Undergo and Expected Results
Parenting counseling is recommended to all parents. However, it is more of a necessity for those who are:
- Experiencing marital issues : Problems in the marriage such as finances and infidelity have a large impact on the marriage and children. Studies have shown that marital infidelity can result in low self-esteem and a feeling of abandonment in children. They may also develop skewed perceptions about love and marriage.
- Suffering from a health problem : Health problems including mental health issues can prevent parents from being with their family, especially with their children, as often as they like.
- Dealing with children’s issues : Children can also be a source of stress and problems for the parents, especially since teen behaviors change over time. In one of the recent studies, it is shown that parents are most concerned with teen substance abuse. But teens are most worried about mental health issues and bullying, which are often missed by their parents.
