As I write this this post, we’ve been Sheltered in Place for the past 17 days. We’re all coming to terms with the new realities of living in a world during COVID-19. These are scary times for everyone. Parents are especially vulnerable. They’re being pushed to their limits as they find themselves at home with their children, for an unknown period of time. And that’s the problem for parents, there are so many unknowns.
How do I establish a routine and some sense of normalcy for my family? My child’s weekly tantrums are turning into daily occurrences, what do I do? I’m finding myself constantly yelling at my children, how I do break this cycle?
Parents, you are not alone.
There are professionals who specialize in helping families address these questions and who can help you through times like the one we find ourselves in. At Focused Behavioral Solutions I use a technique called Behavioral Parent Training. In this video I’ll be describing Behavioral Parent Training and what it looks like when we’re using telehealth because we can’t meet face-to-face.

Homework
Parents, please reach out to your friends and family for support. If you think you need the help of a professional, find someone who uses telehealth. Telehealth is a great option for getting support during COVID-19, while maintaining the health and safety of your family. Telehealth is also a great way to conduct Behavioral Parent Training.
