Get Your Kids to Open Up.

It is important to get your children to tell you what is bothering them.  I know someone that used to run away or hide under the bed when Independence Day came.  Really!  His parents could not understand it at first, then they found out that he was terrified of the noise and commotion.  Simple things that we take for granted may seem like life or death for little kids.

As you discover more about your little one it is important how you react to new revelations.  Don’t make such a big deal of everything.  For example, if they get into dirt or mud don’t overreact during the cleaning process, especially if it is a somewhat rare occurrence.  We all would like some magic crystal ball to know when to intervene without being overprotective. 

When is the right time to consult a professional therapist?  There may be greater issues at play such as mild autism, anxiety disorder, or ADHD.  To get the answers you seek call Doctor Steven Sussman.  Doctor Sussman is a licensed child psychologist serving NYC and Northern New Jersey.  Dr. Sussman has offices in Union County New Jersey and Staten Island NY.  Call him today and begin discussing your preschooler’s issues at (908) 217 8106.
