Is your child prepared??

As part of our “Life Prep” program, we encourage parents and young teens and adults alike to start preparing for launching as a successful adult at a young age.

Take a look at our “Life Pre” program; on sale during the holiday season through new years for $180 for all 8 sessions! Contact Dr. Kaplan at admin@washingtonanxietycenter.com if you are interested.

Here’s a great list to see if your child is prepared:

  1. Do they know how to make a phone call?
  2. Do they know how to book a doctor’s appointment for themselves?
  3. Do they know how to make a meal independently?
  4. Do they know how to shake hands properly?
  5. Do they know how to interview for a job?
  6. Do they know how to open a bank account? Write a check? Balance a checkbook?
  7. Do they know how to do dishes? Complete household chores independently?
  8. Do they know when to seek out help from others when needed? How to seek out professional services?
  9. Do they know how to address their emotions?
  10. Do they know how to problem solve?
  11. Do they know when to admit a mistake and how to communicate it?

This isn’t even a full list! Take the time during the holiday season to think this over! We are here to help!

I am a clinical psychologist with approximately 15 years of experience assessing and treating anxiety and depressive disorders in young children, adolescents, young adults, adults and geriatric populations. I completed a 6-year predoctoral training award at the National Institute of Mental Health, and postdoctoral training at the Anxiety Disorders Center at the Institute of Living/Hartford Hospital. From my clinical and research experiences, I have come to see the struggles of many families deciding when to pursue professional help and feeling very lost in the process. I will address several mental health issues that will help educate and empower my readers to make better mental health decisions for themselves. Welcome to my blog!
