parenting children + teens
Solstice offers several different services that aim to support kids and their grown ups. Our family and parenting relationships are truly the most important in our growth and development. They provide the foundation for our emotion regulation, lay the framework for our sense of self, and map how we relate to others.
Self-regulation is the ability to focus thoughts, control behaviors, and manage emotions. If you want your child to develop self-regulation, you must develop your own. As adults and parents, we are the source of co-regulation for our children. Co-regulation is the process by which children learn to increase self-regulation as their brains and nervous system develop. Parenting is hard and there isn’t always support for families of children with challenging behaviors, brain-based differences, developmental differences, and trauma. Solstice is here to help.
Part of the collaborative wellness mission of Solstice is prevention, focusing on healing from the inside out and providing a secure foundation for wellness in our intimate attachment relationships is our goal. Parents are supported in identifying and developing skills to navigate challenging experiences with their children and teens through various modalities.
