After receiving several hundred requests for the first edition of Parent Coaching Cards , Dr. Richfield enlisted the talents of a graphic designer to create the attractive, kid-friendly product currently available. Children who are less verbally productive in psychotherapy find Parent Coaching Cards provide a safe place for them to become more self-aware and socially and emotionally competent. Parent Coaching Cards are very well suited to structured therapeutic programs, such as focused skills training therapies, where psychoeducational materials are used to fortify retention and generalizability. Parent Coaching Cards strengthen programs catering to parents, such as therapeutic foster care, by empowering them with corrective, rather than punitive, disciplinary tools. In preventive based therapeutic services, Parent Coaching Cards are a useful adjunct to more comprehensive primary prevention programs.
All kids have ups and downs.
Good times occur when you have fun, get what you want, and succeed at things. But, hard times come around, too. Sometimes hard times come in big ways, like failing a test, losing a friend, or getting into trouble for something you've done or said. These situations can be caused by not planning ahead, saying the wrong words to others, or making the wrong decisions at home or school. My job involves helping kids who go through a lot of hard times.
