7 Tips for Navigating Your Child’s Friendship Challenges

By Nanika Coor, Psy. D.October 25, 2023

One of the most internally agitating experiences is to see your child struggling in their social relationships. Maybe your kid is getting bossed around, or is the bossy kid! Or your kid complains that they feel hurt when they get excluded from a particular friend group or when they’re rejected by a kid they really want to be friends with. A friend decided to sit with other kids at lunch, leaving your child on their own. A kid who was close with your child last year has new friends now and now ignores your child at school. Today, I’m talking…

How to Encourage Your Child’s Healthy Body Image

By Nanika Coor, Psy. D.July 25, 2023

Parents often wonder about the best way to work with their kids on weight, dieting, and body image. What can you do when you’re worried about your child’s weight? How does a parent avoid passing down intergenerational patterns of body shaming? Parental concerns around weight Recently, a parent reached out to me about their concern for their daughter’s increasing body weight, along with their fear of passing on to her the unhealthy messages about weight they learned from their own parents. Here’s this parent’s email (edited for clarity): Dear Dr. Coor, I’m writing to you because I’m really concerned about…

Stick around till the end to hear about what you can do in the heat of the moment when you notice your partner in conflict with your child. It’s a common story.

Resolve Challenges With Your ADHD Child

By Nanika Coor, Psy. D.April 3, 2023

Parenting a Child With ADHD Many of us wonder how to parent a child with ADHD. Raising a kid with this disorder you probably see a lot of them struggling to follow rules, listen to instructions, remember, and delay gratification. But is it effective to punish kids for neurological deficits and/or delays over which they have no control? And what are we talking about when we use the term “punishment”? In my practice, I find that every parent seems to have their own definition! If you’re at the end of your rope trying to parent your ADHD child, keep reading.…

By Nanika Coor, Psy. D.January 4, 2023

On this week’s podcast (listen with the player above!), I’m talking about some first steps you can take toward turning over a new and more connected parenting leaf. Listen to the end to hear about everyday ways to increase relational safety and connection with your kiddo. In western culture, the new year traditionally brings with it desires to commit to new habits, recommit to current habits, finally tie up loose ends or repair previous wrongs. New families coming into my practice at the beginning of a new year are often determined to make a positive change in their relationships, starting…

By Nanika Coor, Psy. D.December 14, 2022

It’s that time of year again! My parent clients who gather with extended family during the winter holidays are starting to stress out. Folks are either traveling to holiday gatherings or they’re planning and hosting them. While there are some parents who are fondly looking forward to connecting with family members, others dread the less positive aspects of meeting up with far-flung family. How will your kids manage the different rules in other adults’ homes?

How to Reduce Your Child’s Challenging Behavior

By Nanika Coor, Psy. D.March 14, 2022

Often parents describe their frustrations with their child in terms of what they perceive to be their child’s purposeful non-compliance and annoying behavior. I’ve heard statements like: “She just doesn’t make good choices!” “He’s just trying to get attention.” “They just want their own way all the time!” “She acts out for no reason!” It’s understandable. When you’re repeatedly faced with kid behaviors that are anywhere from mildly challenging to very concerning, you can be so exhausted and frustrated that through the lens of your activated nervous system you mostly see negativity. It’s hard to consider any other explanation for…

4 Ways Parents Can Decrease Screen Time Conflict

By Nanika Coor, Psy. D.January 11, 2022

Needing help with limiting a child’s screen time is pretty high up on the list of issues parents have these days. The Covid-19 pandemic has meant more time at home for safety reasons, and parents have had to be creative in helping their children manage so much unstructured time indoors. Parents who had to work full-time while their child’s school was shut down often used screens to occupy the kids so they could get work done, or just get a parenting break. As the pandemic wears on indefinitely, parents are wondering about collaborative ways to regain some screen time boundaries…
