“There is in every child at every stage a new miracle of vigorous unfolding”
Erik Erikson
We want children to embrace each stage of becoming who they are to be with the joy found only in childhood. Sometimes obstacles make that difficult. We look at these obstacles and help your child resolve them so they can continue on their healthy journey. Understanding and helping your child resolve conflict, develop skills and strategies, and gain emotional intelligence will assist in ensuring health and wellness as development continues.
