WHAT EVERY PARENT NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT

WHEN TO SEEK HELP FOR YOUR CHILD

If you are wondering whether or not your son or daughter needs help, ask yourself the following questions. If your answer is “yes” to any of them, it may indicate that your child is experiencing emotional and/or behavioral problems that require professional help. This is especially true if your child’s problems have persisted over an extended period of time. Please CONTACT ME if you have any concerns about your son or daughter and want to get help.
