Every marriage experiences ups and downs, yet, a couple’s ability to repair and find meaning in their relationship can greatly influence their connection and success throughout their journey together.

Sometimes, challenges such as receiving a life-changing diagnosis for your child, or managing a spirited child, can strain your relationship. This stress can leave the relationship feeling empty. Conflict can quickly become a way of life, or worse yet, cause couples to start living separate lives and eventually grow apart. Such dynamics can exacerbate problems in children and turn the family upside down.

360 Pediatric Psychology believes that positive intervention for parents also helps their children and improves their child’s overall prognosis. Through Gottman and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, couples develop successful communication strategies and find deeper connections with one another. Through Parent-Child Emotional Coaching, parents learn the skills necessary to quickly identify negative behaviors; help their child to label their emotions; set parental limits; and work with the child collaboratively to problem solve. This technique has proven effective in promoting emotional regulation, improving attention and focus; thus, it increases awareness and overall wellbeing in school and social interactions.
