Helping Kids with Behavioral Challenges: Supportive, Integrative Care
Many children struggle with oppositional behaviors, defiance, or big emotional outbursts—sometimes called oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). These challenges can affect home life, school, and friendships. At CareStone Psychiatry, we provide integrative, whole-person support for children, teens, and families to help manage emotions, improve focus, and build lasting resilience.
What We Offer:
Parent & Family Guidance: Practical strategies to reinforce positive behavior, set clear expectations, and help kids regulate emotions.
School Support: Tools for teachers and staff, like visual schedules and daily check-ins, to encourage consistency and success.
Lifestyle & Mind-Body Tools: Exercise, sleep routines, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques that support emotional control.
Nutrition & Supplements: Balanced whole foods, healthy fats, and vitamins to support emotional well-being and focus (discussed with your provider).
Supportive Talk: Time to listen, validate, and guide children through big feelings, building coping skills for everyday life.

Reduce outbursts and frustration
