One of our single mom's expressed her concern about her 6 year old daughter's poor behavior in school, her poor
behaviors with other children and her struggles to take guidance and
instruction from adults.
One of our Children's Therapists began working with the little girl on behaviors to help her understand the
importance and severity of bullying.
Because the little girl was receptive and seemed to enjoy working with the therapist, Mom observed a change in behavior at home and in school after only three sessions.
The therapist helped Mom assist in changing her daughter's behavior by giving her a simple task - eating at the table for
dinner to discussing the day's activities and using that time as bonding
time.
Mom had never
done that before.
After two weeks, Mom reported that sitting with her children to eat dinner was life changing.
She said her children had never opened up to her in that way
before, and they all were very talkative and extremely happy.
The family now has established a ritual that no one eats unless everyone is at the table together.
