Mission
Do you need help?
Are you frustrated by your child or teen’s behaviors?
Do you struggle with a child who melts down, shuts down, or acts out when they encounter a problem, and you just don’t know what to do?
Don’t you wish you could get some non-judgemental parenting support and tools that REALLY work?
If so, we understand, the 1,000 of families how we have helped over the last 20 years have felt this way too. They tried traditional talk therapy, family therapy, medications, and many other programs, but still didn’t find anything that helped change the way their child was responding when they encountered a challenge. Many of the families would come to me thinking, “Not another therapy where I spend lots of money, time, and energy and things don’t really change”.
Boy were they surprised when they started to see their child change and transform before their eyes.
Instead of melt downs their child would use the tools they were taught to self-regulate their feelings, so their behavior did not spiral out of control and impact everyone in the household.
Instead of shutting down their child learned new ways of thinking when they encountered a problem and instead of saying “I can’t”, they learned to think and say, “How can I do this!” Their self-confidence soared and their parents were no longer holding their breath waiting for their child to shut down.
Instead of having tantrums (and this happens from toddler age and into the teenage years) their child learned how to communicate effectively and learned to manage their feelings and behaviors when they encountered situations that were not what they wanted.
The Mission of the Creativity Queen, LLC is to provide support, resources, and systems to help children, parents, and families create solutions to their problems, and feel more confident and connected.
Imagine positive “normal” communication in your family
Imagine harmony in your home
Imagine teaching your child ways to cope with their feeling and behaviors that will last a lifetime
It is possible, and we can help!
Why are we different?
The Creativity Queen was born from the idea that personal growth and learning new ways to manage challenges does not have to be difficult. In fact the research suggests just the opposite, that there is a link between positive affective states and cognitive performance, creative problem solving, memory, and logic. In simple terms, if you are engaged in a pleasurable activity, such as making art, you are likely to come up with some creative ways to solve the problems you are experiencing. And because it is meaningful you will actually remember and try these new tools, which of course is how you make changes in behaviors!
Your child needs to learn a new way to solve their problems that are meaningful to them. Unless it is important and relevant to them they will not make changes, and you will continue to see the same behaviors. The Creativity Queen encourages creative solutions—unique, bold, creative problem solving to build confidence, strengthen relationships, increase flexibility, and self-responsibility. We approach serious problems in a playful and engaging way to help create solutions that WORK!
