Discussing Top Parenting Concerns from the Cincinnati Parenting Survey on WVXU

/

Today, Beech Acres Parenting Center President and CEO Jim Mason, Vice President of New Business Development Jill Huynh and School-based Services Supervisor Cheryl Riley joined Mark Heyne on WVXU Cincinnati to discuss the results of our Cincinnati Parenting Survey. In the survey, 44% of parents identified Understanding kids’ mental health issues as extremely or very concerning. This was the single biggest concern identified. Here are some highlights from the show: “Our goal at Beech Acres Parenting Center is to shift the stigma from ‘I have to go to Beech Acres’, to ‘I get to go to Beech Acres.’ We are delighted parents want to get help with their children’s mental health.” -Jim Mason “Parenting is one of the most rewarding and challenging jobs we take on in our lives.” -Jill Huynh “We customize our care to our clients and meet them where they are.” -Cheryl Riley “Everyone has innate strengths they were born with; in knowing those strengths parents can understand their kids better, but also understand their own parenting.”  -Jill Huynh “Let’s look at the strengths and resiliency of the family and focus on amplifying that.” -Cheryl Riley “If we can intervene early enough we can build a positive foundation. Our approach is to promote what we want to see, not what we don’t want to see.” -Jill Huynh “Let’s look at the strengths and resiliency of the family and focus on amplifying that.” -Cheryl Riley “We have a saying. Hurt kids hurt kids. We have compassion for people doing the bullying because they are a hurt person.” -Jim Mason “Beech Acres will work with the parents to remove barriers to get them the help they need.” -Cheryl Riley Parents who participated in our survey also identified discipline, drug use and bullying among other top concerns.

Bullying Can Be Very Serious. We’re Here to Help.

/

Bullying can be very serious and can affect your child’s mood, self-esteem, and academic performance. But there is hope… What will you say? If your child is suffering, let them know they are not alone. Tell them that bullying is unfortunately not uncommon and that it is not their fault. Children can feel helpless when being bullied so it is important to point out their strengths and how they’ve used them successfully in other situations. To help keep their confidence from diminishing, brainstorm some ways that they can use one of their strengths effectively in this situation. You can discover your child’s strengths (as yours too!) at http://www.viacharacter.org If necessary seek help from their school, pediatrician or a mental health professional. We’re here to help as well. To speak with a parenting coach please call 513-231-6630 today.

Help! My Kid is a Cyberbully!

/

You’ve recently discovered inappropriate treatment directed at other children on your child’s phone. What will you say? Cyberbullying, a form of bullying or harassment using digital contacts such as texts, email, or social media, is a growing concern for parents. The influence of technology on our culture has never been greater. Kids are using digital devices at an earlier age and are spending much more time in front of them. The ubiquitous use of digital technologies has made them an easy platform for bullying to thrive. According to Stopbullying.org, 15% of all U.S. high school students were cyberbullied last year. Sadly, that number is dramatically higher, a staggering 55%, among LGBTQ students. We’ve recently explored ways to address bullying when your child is the victim, but what if your child is the bully? Here are some things to ask if you have discovered inappropriate treatment of other children on one of your child’s devices. Ask your child if she knows what can happen to kids that are cyberbullied. They can get depressed, become anxious, or worse. Ask your child what her intention was. What were they hoping to accomplish? Ask your child what the other child did to prompt their behavior.  Ask your child how else she can manage her feelings towards other children in acceptable ways. Listening to your child and understanding their behavior and their motivations are key to addressing this issue. Working through intention and consequences can lead to better decision making in the future.
