Psychological counseling of parents is currently one of the most popular in practice of work of the psychologist directions.

the Difficulties parents have in the relationship with the children, facing them, as the difficulties of "education". And if the kids behave like something is wrong, as it seemed to parents that the latter is always a long list of claims and complaints. The heart cry of parents: "Do something!" at times is full of anger and frustration on their child, is actually very similar to a state of powerlessness.

What also worth to take into account a specialist and addressed by parents?

Walking this path of shifting responsibility from themselves to the child's parent inevitably gets into a situation "the broken trough". Therefore, the task of the psychologist strongly "to translate arrows" on the one who "complains". If he has a lot of energy to complain about others, you should understand that he has the energy to change anything in their behaviour. (as they say: "his energy, Yes in the peace purposes").
