My Work Style
The hardest part is the first part which is connecting with the parent and child in a way in which they feel heard and accepted. Once you have established trust then everything else comes easier. Everyone is unique so there is no ‘one way’ to demonstrate to someone you have their best interest at heart. You need to continually prove yourself be making their lives better in ways they can feel and experience the improvement. My ultimate goal never changes: complete independence for the child. I don’t often make it, but anything less in terms of effort is selling the child short.
