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:
- Do they know how to make a phone call?
- Do they know how to book a doctor’s appointment for themselves?
- Do they know how to make a meal independently?
- Do they know how to shake hands properly?
- Do they know how to interview for a job?
- Do they know how to open a bank account? Write a check? Balance a checkbook?
- Do they know how to do dishes? Complete household chores independently?
- Do they know when to seek out help from others when needed? How to seek out professional services?
- Do they know how to address their emotions?
- Do they know how to problem solve?
- 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!
Happy Holidays to all!
