Social Media has Ramped up the Pressure.

When Baby Boomers were growing up there was no instant contact with friends.  Expectations were limited to your family, friends, and your school.  Instant shaming on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter did not exist (thank heaven).  Life was simpler.  But we are not going back to those days so how do we deal with the daily flow of information?

In those times a child who exhibited disruptive behavior was just called “hyperactive” and it was assumed they would grow out of it.  The social issues of today are overwhelming by comparison.  These days when a child performs differently than their peers, special attention may be needed and should be sought.

In a bustling metropolis such as ours, that need may well be enhanced.  That is why it is so comforting to get to know Dr. Steve Sussman, a modern child psychologist.  The first thing to do is visit his website at www.sussmankids.com.  After you have learned more, then make an appointment in his Staten Island or Mountainside NJ office by calling (908) 217-8106.

Teen-Friendly Methods.

Could there possibly be such a thing?  Are we really talking about communicating with teenagers?  Believe it or not, it is possible!  Those, wild, untamed beautiful young minds may seem unmanageable for you and your significant other.  A professional who works with teenagers on a regular, daily basis may be the right answer.

Turning around a troubled teen is one of the most remarkable and satisfying things that you will ever experience.  Whom they associate with, how they interact at school, and by what they are motivated will shape the future of a strong adult in this next decade and beyond.  There is a great deal at stake here.

Dr. Steven Sussman has made it his life’s work and considers it one of the most satisfying things he has ever experienced.  Turning a misguided teen into a productive young adult gives life meaning.  Please call Dr. Sussman for an appointment with your teenager at his Mountainside, NJ or Staten Island office at (908) 217-8106.  A YOUNG mind is a terrible thing to waste!
