Trick or Treating.

It sounds like an unusual topic for us to be discussing for a renowned child psychologist, Dr. Steven Sussman of Mountainside, NJ. It might be more important than you think. Here is a tip for later in October courtesy of Dr. Sussman.

Generally speaking, your kid(s) should be about twelve years of age before you can trust them to go trick or treating with only their peers. I advise against them going by themselves. There is always safety in numbers. Of course, there is no magic answer. This is the NYC area after all, so use good judgement in making your decision.

I’m Dr. Steven Sussman…and I approve this message. That message is don’t micromanage, but make good decisions (like you hope your children will) whenever you decide to let your kids out by themselves. One of many reasons why you should talk to Dr. Steven Sussman about your children.

Negative Back to School Signs.

Back to school can be an enjoyable time for your child. It also can elicit a feeling of discomfort and even “torture” for them. There are some signs of anxiety that you should not ignore. New York/New Jersey child psychologist, Dr. Steven Sussman, can help you with those.

Are you looking for a complaining kid about how tough the new school year is? Are they withdrawing when you agree to discuss this with them? Are they more aggressive or fatigued than they were last school year…or during the summer?

Dr. Steven Sussman has seen all types of back to school “blues” in his decades as one of the best child psychologists in the New York area. If you are noticing these or other changes in your kid’s behavior, make a free call to Dr. Steven Sussman at his Mountainside, NJ office.

Therapy for Adolescents.

If you have been around anyone in their early teens, you know how difficult an adolescent can be. Some child psychologists may shy away from that age group. Not New York/New Jersey child psychologist Dr. Steven Sussman! He will help your early or pre-teen through their issues.

Counseling adolescents is a passion of Dr. Steve’s. It is your last real chance of reaching them before adulthood. He has developed some “teen-friendly” techniques that he has found to be nothing short of magical.
