Reacting to Your Child’s Actions.

Now that we are back to school it is important to see how the children in your life are reacting to their new surroundings. Every school year offers its unique set of challenges. If you let aberrant behavior go unchecked, it could be a huge mistake. New York/New Jersey child psychologist Dr. Steven Sussman could really help at a time like this.

Some things that Dr. Steve tells us to look for are -

1. A new-found “boldness” that you’ve never seen before.

2. Acting up at home because they can get by with it.

3. A change in their stress level.

Ask about their “new” friends this school year. If they are evasive, it may be time to call Dr. Steven Sussman at his Mountainside, NJ office at (908) 217-8106. Let’s talk about it together, then see about the proper course of action. Dr. Sussman may determine a number of different things in getting properly prepared for the new school year.
