It offers a pathway to deeper connection and understanding with your child, fostering healthier parenting skills and supporting your child's self-regulation. Dr. Bess guides parents on a journey of self-awareness, exploring their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences to better understand their child's behaviors and needs. This collaborative process moves beyond reactive parenting, empowering you to respond with intention and thoughtfulness. Through self-reflection, you'll explore your own attachment style and history, identifying triggers and understanding how they influence your parenting. Dr. Bess will support your understanding of child development, helping you see the world through your child's eyes and interpret their verbal and nonverbal cues. You'll learn mindful parenting techniques, develop effective communication skills like active listening and emotion coaching, and discover strategies for building a stronger parent-child relationship, including attachment-focused approaches and, for younger children, the use of play therapy. Whether you're looking to set loving boundaries, manage challenging behaviors, or improve co-parenting communication, Dr. Bess provides a supportive space to enhance your parenting skills and build more fulfilling relationships with your children.
