Perceptions and Skills Needed to Develop Capable People

Strong Perceptions of Personal Capabilities:  "I am capable"

Strong Perceptions of Significance in Primary Relationships: "I contribute in meaningful ways and I am genuinely needed"  

Strong Perceptions of Personal Power or Influence Over Life: "I can influence what happens to me"

Strong Intrapersonal skills: The ability to understand personal emotions and to use that understanding to develop self-discipline and self-control

Strong Interpersonal Skills: The ability to work with others and develop friendships through communicating, cooperating, negotiating, sharing, empathizing and listening

Strong Systemic Skills: The ability to respond to the limits and consequences of everyday life with responsibility, adaptability, flexibility and integrity

Strong Judgmental Skills:The ability to use wisdom and to evaluate situations according to appropriate values

 Most behavior problems can be eliminated when parents learn more effective ways to help their children develop healthy perceptions and skills. In fact, most misbehavior can be traced to a lack of development in these perceptions and skills. 

We need to understand that cooperation based on mutual respect and shared responsibility is more effective than authoritarian control.

The Center for Therapy & Counseling Services offers in-office or online Parent Consultations.  Meet with one of our specially trained parenting therapists to discuss your parenting concerns and we will work with you to provide practical recommendations and ensure you successfully address the challenges you are looking to address. At the end of the session, you will have useful information and strategies that are immediately helpful in addressing your concerns. Our team of parenting therapists will work together with you to figure out solutions that are realistically doable and work effectively within your family.

 Parent Consultations are offered to parents/caregivers of children who are any age.

Available in both of our two New Jersey locations (East Brunswick and Edison) or via online video sessions. Our Parent Consultation online video sessions are available to parents/caregivers anywhere in the world (as long as they have internet access).
