Is it painful to watch your child or teen try to make friends? Do you worry that they don’t seem to know how to respond in social situations? Does your child have behaviors that seem to push other kids away rather than drawing them in? When children struggle with social relationships parents can feel at a loss as to how to help. A child’s decision-making process in managing social situations will not make sense without putting looking at the impact of their early trauma and attachment losses. Recognizing a child or youth’s lagging emotional development, helps social behaviors begin to make sense to the adults supporting them. This workshop will help you to develop a plan for supporting your child emotional development while also helping them to navigate the complexities of social relationships that they are unprepared to manage independently.
