What Could We Anticipate with the New School Year Upon Us?

To say that this back-to-school season will be the most unusual in decades would be the understatement of the century. This year’s school environment could cause dramatic changes and is likely to increase separation problems for your kids…and you. New York child psychologist Dr. Steven Sussman may be able to help you with the former.

Behaviors such as social distancing have caused families to develop a stronger dependency on the home front and to create new routines that may be very different from their pre-pandemic routines. Kids need to properly adjust to “the new normal.”

Parents can be responsive to their children’s needs by doing more pre-planning, providing calm and confident reassurance, and departing for school each day without wavering, Dr. Steven Sussman is a strong, consistent resource available to parents in and around Mountainside, NJ and the surrounding metropolitan area.

O-D-D Does Not Mean your Child is ODD.

Now that school is about to be fully back in session there is something to be considered for your kid. Are they being taught to memorize and succeed by having the most knowledge or…are they going to school to learn better relationship skills? Dr. Steve Sussman, a child psychologist in New York and New Jersey, will help you explore that question.

It is common for kids everywhere who may be suffering from a variety of attention deficit issues and learning disabilities to become deficient academically. They are not defiant. They are not unteachable. They may simply only be learning visually and through hands-on instruction.
