You Are an Important Part of Your Child's Therapeutic Journey
Parents and caregivers are an important part of a child's therapeutic journey. Parent support sessions provide dedicated time to connect, share observations, and collaborate on ways to best support your child outside of therapy.
These sessions are available for parents of children ages 12 and under who are currently receiving therapy at Little Waves. They provide space to better understand your child's emotions and behaviours, discuss challenges that may be coming up at home or school, and explore practical strategies to support their growth.
Depending on your child's needs, sessions may focus on understanding behaviour, responding to big emotions, supporting anxiety, and strengthening the connection between parents and children.
- Sharing observations from home and school
- Understanding what may drive behaviours or emotions
- Learning how to respond to big feelings
- Reinforcing skills your child is working on in therapy
- Discussing challenges and collaborating on strategies
- Strengthening the parent-child relationship
Parent support is collaborative while also respecting the child's privacy and autonomy. The focus is on sharing helpful strategies and information that support your child's well-being.
