What to do about Self-Criticism.

We hear our kids say negative things about themselves all the time: They say things such as“I’m so stupid!” and “Nobody likes me.” Then they criticize their physical or mental capacity as well. Please recognize that sometimes these things are throwaway lines, or fishing for reassurance...and sometimes they are not! Perhaps we can tackle low self-esteem together.

As a New York/New Jersey child psychologist who has dealt with kid’s self-worth issues for decades, I know that a post-pandemic world may have given your children LESS confidence than they had before Covid. This is something we can tackle together and build your child’s self-esteem.

My name is Dr. Steven Sussman. I have been recognized as one of the Tri-State area’s most successful child psychologists from my office in Mountainside, NJ. Does your kid seem to have less self-regard as we enter the New Year? Let’s talk. I am a phone call away at (908) 217-8106.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

It is a relatively new term in child psychology as we learn more and more about our youth.

1.  Interaction with other kids is erratic.
