Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I want my child to carry a solid sense of who they are even when I’m not there to remind them
• I feel completely fine and my doctor says everything looks normal, but I know the big diseases are quietly building for years before they ever show up
• My child can tell me they’re upset but then has no idea what to actually do about it
• My child has gotten so used to being "the difficult one" that they act like it’s just who they are
• My child reacts to everything on pure impulse and never seems to stop and think how the other kid feels, and I want to actually build that thinking-and-considering muscle during our good calm moments, not just keep firefighting once they’ve already lost it.
