Children and the Internet

Parenting throughout the lifespan is challenging.  There are no step-by-step manuals on raising children.  At times it can be so overwhelming that parents feel out of options.  The impact of Internet pornography and a sexually saturated culture often leave parents feeling helpless.  Out of the love and care that parents have for their children, they choose to contact outside help for their child to cope with some of life’s touch problems.  As a trained child and adolescent specialist, Lisa Andrews and Sonya Kennedy can provide other options and avenues of hope.  Parents know the challenges of raising kids in our culture today.  Parents know the feelings of desperation as children grow up and face challenges and transitions.  Play therapy and working with teens is a way to help navigate the often difficult transitions from childhood into adulthood.
