Parents of challenging kids…this section is just for you. We know how frustrated, alone, blamed, and desperate many parents of challenging kids feel…how hard it is to find good help…how confusing and contradictory the advice of professionals…and books…and TV shows…can be. Should you be more firm or more understanding? Should you use more rewards, more time-outs, or have more discussions with your child? Should you medicate your child? How should you deal with your child's teachers? What should you do if you and your co-parent completely disagree about how to handle your child? What should you do during moments – or hours – when your child is completely out of control? How come nothing seems to work as well as promised?

Social Skill Development
Good social skills are critical to success in life. The extent to which children possess these skills can influence their academic performance, behavior, social and family relationships, and even school safety. Social skills encompass a range of behaviors, such as waiting your turn, asking to use something, joining a group, managing anger or frustration, respecting other people, not interrupting, asking for help, and understanding the social cues of other children.
