Re: Young teen struggling with school entrance process

Hi Mellymell, I can hear you’re really concerned about him. He’s very lucky to have supportive parents. At The Parent Practice we work with the parents rather than the kids directly but I think you’d be glad to be able to support him even more effectively. Btw I don’t think that putting him forward ...

Re: 3yrs old Autism - help/advice

I really recommend Elaine Halligan's book My Child's Different which charts Elaine's own journey with her severely dyslexic son (initially diagnosed with ASD) and shows how positive parenting methods can really help children who are different in many ways.

I run The Parent Practice in Balham and I wondered if you would like a complimentary call to chat through how to help your kids deal with the trauma - we'd be glad ...

Re: 5 year old daughter still not settled into school

I'm sure you're right that the physical symptoms are related. My daughter had bad eczema, stomach aches and headaches as a result of anxiety when she started secondary school. She'd also taken a while to settle into big school. It's great that she likes the teacher and has friends -that's a big reli...

Re: My toddler keeps hitting others

Like others have said this is a normal phase of development. So far, not very comforting.

Instead they operate out of their limbic system, the emotional part...
