A little bit of support goes a long way. Knowing something isn't working well in the family but not sure what the problem is or how to deal with a situation are common problems. Often talking it through on the phone or having a visit can pinpoint and firm up a way to deal with the behaviour. Children may be showing behavioural challenges that are confusing. When having an understanding of your child's development, we can discover the best way to support your child. The kinds of questions I've had in the past have been about settling a child in a new nursery, dealing with eating or reflux issues, preparing a toddler for a new baby and a child who was defiant during the day, leading to tantrums.
By taking time with you to understand the situation I can offer practical support, tips and ideas to help your child get back on track. As children grow more independent, their routine needs to reflect all that they are learning to do. This can result in fractious times and exhausting days when it isn't going well. Often a few small changes to the routine and insights to the minds of our Terrific Twos will bring back the fun. This is one of Xanthe's most popular services.
