Tim helps parents work through what an approaching developmental stage or family change means for their child and their home.
That may involve preparing for growing independence, adjusting routines and expectations or getting ready for childcare, kindergarten or school. The consultation turns those questions into practical preparation, with discussion, practice where useful, a written plan and a check-in.
When a behaviour difficulty is already occurring, the same individual approach can focus on understanding the situation and developing a practical parent response.
