Your Teen Is Not The Problem

Acting out behavior in most teens reflects an incompatibility between their skills and the demands being placed upon them by their environment.

I Can Help You

Acting Out Behavior

Whining | Pouting | Sulking | Crying

Screaming | Swearing | Hitting | Lying

Drinking | Drugging | Self-Harm | Violence

Their Behavior Is Not The Problem

Challenging kids will always look bad when challenged beyond their capacity to respond effectively. We need to see their behavior as a cry for help, and answer that call...

The Problem Is Lagging Developmental Skills

Executive Functioning

The ability to pay attention, organize, plan and prioritize, as well as start tasks and stay focused to completion.

Language Processing

The capacity to focus on the important sounds in a noisy setting, and understand and recall the order of sounds and words. 

Emotional Regulation

Being able to manage emotions and impulses, and respond in a manner that is socially tolerable and sufficiently flexible.

Social Skills

Knowing how to recognize non-verbal gestures of body language, follow directions, refrain from interrupting, and demonstrate empathy and rapport.

Problem Solving

The capacity to identify the issue and understand everyone's interests, as well list, evaluate, and select from the possible solutions options.

Punishments and Rewards Not Working?

Rather than reacting to their behavior, we can help your teen discover effective ways to respond to challenging situations.
