About

Our children are our greatest sources of joy and our greatest sources of stress –watching them grow up is somehow simultaneously wonderful and upsetting. We know that as parents and caregivers, when things are going well for our children, life tends to go smoother for us, too. In absence of tantrums, calls from the school to pick them up, yelling, and worrying, the days are a little more peaceful.

I know first-hand as a child psychiatrist that finding the right type of support for our children’s mental and behavioral health issues can be frustrating, to say the least. The supply and demand are wildly out of balance–there are only about 14 practicing child psychiatrists for every 100,000 children. Finding a therapist, let alone the right therapist can be a full-time job. Waiting for appointments, and finding times when our kids don’t have to miss school can all make the situation feel more stressful than it’s worth. And so the truth is, we as parents have to be the solution to the challenges in our own homes. Even with the best mental health support in the world, it will be our efforts as parents in collaboration with professional support that will truly create peace and calm in our lives.

The good news: you totally can. You are enough. The goal is achievable. Things only have to be a little better in order for everything to start improving.
