Quick check-in: how are you feeling today?

Simple charts like these can be helpful in therapy because a lot of kids can point to a feeling long before they can name it.

You can try it at home too! Pull this up at dinner and have everyone pick one (parents included).

What is pathological demand avoidance (PDA)? For some kids, everyday requests like getting dressed or starting homework trigger intense resistance. It can look like defiance, but it's often driven by anxiety and a need for control. Offering real choices, using less directive language, and problem-solving together can help.

Our new blog explains how to treat PDA and how therapy supports the whole family. Check it out at: https://courageouskidscounseling.com/how-to-treat-pathological-demand-avoidance/

Is homework turning into a nightly battle? Forgotten assignments and last-minute projects can be signs of executive function challenges, not a lack of effort.

Executive function coaching helps kids and teens build real-world skills for planning, organization, and time management, with guidance for parents too.

Why is school drop-off so hard for some kids? For a child with separation anxiety, saying goodbye can mean tears, stomachaches, or begging to stay home. A predictable morning routine, a short and consistent goodbye, and a plan with your child's teacher can make mornings easier.

Our new blog shares practical tips, plus when it may be time to talk with a child therapist.

Welcome to Courageous Kids Counseling. 💛

We work with children who may be dealing with big feelings, changes at home or school, anxiety, or just having a hard time with something they can’t quite put into words yet. Our job is to get to know each child, figure out what’s going on, and help them work through it in a way that makes sense for them.

We’re glad you found us.

When OCD is involved, it’s easy to fall into checking, answering the same questions, or helping them avoid whatever is making them anxious. The tricky part is that some of those things can actually keep the OCD cycle going. So what should you do in this situation?
