Question the Psychologist
Why do I turn down the radio when I am driving in traffic?
Why are some people so difficult to deal with?
Why do I keep picking the same loser lover type?
Do you have a question about yourself or others that you have always wanted answered by a psychologist? This blog is all about that type of thing. Use the comments link to ask your questions. While I will not be able to get to all of the questions, I will try to answer as many as possible.

As a parent I am often confused by the large amount of information regarding child development. What are some helpful tips to help me encourage my child's development?

Encouraging Child Development
1. Encourage children to express feelings and thoughts, negative and positive.
2. Provide answers to their questions that are developmentally appropriate (i.e. attention span, vocabulary level, etc.).
3. Provide information about children’s environment as children learn to make sense of their world.
4. Compliment appropriate behavior.
5. Help children learn to solve problems, rather than rely on others for solutions.
6. Remember that children learn from behaviors so make sure words are followed by consistent action.
7. As a parent, you will need to learn as much as possible to help guide your children.
8. Accept positive and negative expressions of feelings from your child. This models that expression is healthy rather than children having to reveal their feelings through behavior (i.e. hitting, yelling, etc.). “It’s okay to be angry. I am glad that you are expressing yourself.”
