Description

On this episode of the Be a Problem Solver podcast, we are tackling the first of the top five common challenges that parents ask us about - helping your child make friends! To get the FREE e-WORKBOOK that accompanies this episode head to: www.beaproblemsolverservices.com We provide parents and clinicians with information about social skill building and character development, using online materials and our podcast. Be a Problem Solver Services are Kate (M.Ed., CCC-SLP) and Cory (Ph.D., LPCA, NCC) - a wife speech pathologist and husband mental mental health counselor who focus on bringing you information about social skill development and character building. We both practice independently, and then come together to collaborate on important social skills issues that we hear from our clients over and over again! We love social skill building and character development, and we created this podcast so we could talk about it all the time! Whether your a parent or clinician, we know that you'll get a lot out of listening because we give quick tips with examples of how to handle social skill challenges, emotion regulation, and build character along the way. Let's help to raise our kids to be kind, good, humans.
