The goal of this group is to provide informal support for mothers and caregivers. As caregivers, you are actively helping to develop your child’s social and emotional skills by assisting them with everyday challenges. This group is an opportunity to discuss parenting challenges and strategies that arise when parenting a preschool aged child (ages 3-5). This group will allow an opportunity to get to know other parents who are in similar situations whether it be to discuss parental stress, lack of time for self-care, behavioral challenges or stigmatization that comes with parenting a child with behavioral concerns. The group will focus on learning strategies and interventions effective for parenting children with several different diagnoses (e.g. ADHD, ODD, anxiety). The group will also work on identifying different parenting styles and their effectiveness in a child’s development.
The group meetings will be led by Lauren Wenclewicz and will take place at our office in Yardley, PA. These group meetings will begin on Wednesday, October 4th from 10:00am to 11:00a and will run every Wednesday at 10:00am for 8 weeks.

I currently work with children (ages 5-12), as well as teenagers (ages 13-18) who experience difficulties with hyperactivity (e.g. attention, lack of focus, school problems), impulsivity, oppositional defiance, anxiety (e.g. social anxiety, generalized anxiety), as well as adjustment issues (e.g. divorce, change in school or family dynamics). I also have a history of working with clients on the ASD spectrum and have a history of working on social skills (e.g. social boundaries, empathy, perspective taking). I currently focus on utilizing CBT techniques, strength based and solution-focused techniques to help challenge thoughts and focus on strengths and solutions to help clients focus on solutions rather than problems
