Many children who are treated for disruptive behavior problems are school-age. They’ve been acting out in class, ignoring or defying teachers’ direction, or being too aggressive with other children.

In many cases, these children have been exhibiting problematic behavior for years before they start school. Early intervention is key when dealing with behaviors of children in order to address issues before they escalate into larger problems later in childhood or adolescents.

Using a variety of play therapy and child development-based techniques, children as young as three years old can benefit substantially. Play therapy utilizes play, children\’s natural medium of expression, to help them express their feelings more easily through toys, sand, therapy animals, art, and activities, instead of just words. Using these modalities, children are taught to exhibit emotional functioning through play and art. Children do not have the cognitive capability to verbalize issues, events, or trauma they might be experiencing and having a safe environment to act out their feelings allows the therapist to get a better understanding of what the child is trying to say exhibited by their concerning behaviors.

Signs that preschool kids might need help learning to manage their impulses and regulate their behavior include:

Repeated, intense temper tantrums.

Ongoing negative or concerning behaviors parents are having difficulty managing.

Poor sleeping schedule, habits, or bedtime issues.

Family circumstances (divorce, separation, death, incarceration, substance abuse, alcohol abuse, abuse, neglect, absent parent, parent alienation) causing distress to a child.

Physical symptoms or habits (hair, bed wetting, potty training, biting nails, self-harm, hurting others or self).

Not playing well with other children: Being excluded from play dates, being released from pre-school, ongoing negative reports or comments from other adults.

Behaviors causing a strain on the family unit, parental relationship, neighbors, or social environments.

A child dictating and controlling the family environment by their behaviors.

Behaviors causing concern for safety of child, other children, family members, or siblings.

I've been taking my teenager to Becky for about four months, and I can’t express how much she has impacted our lives for the better. She has built trust and connected with him so that he feels safe, understood and affirmed.

Each session Becky leaves him with fresh perspectives and practical tools. Often, he returns home with art projects or baked treats that they have made together. And as animal lovers, he enjoys all of Becky's furry friends!

Becky has been a God send for us. My son has made so much progress through his counseling with Becky and I am confident that will continue. I highly recommend her.
Becky is so warm and nonjudgmental, I felt like I could open up to her the minute I met her. I have only been going to her for 2 or so months and she has already helped me shed the toxic relationships in my life and learn how to advocate for myself. Highly recommend!
Becky and her critter team have helped my family through a lot. Her sincerity and clarity in communication has helped us in ways no other counselor could. Generations to come will benefit and will be bless from my family's work with Becky.

My Autistic son was in great need of age appropriate, well-mannered, & empathetic friends. He showed signs of great distress. Parental support needed as well. After just 1 session of play therapy with others (with her supervision), my son's behavior immediately changed! Educators couldn't believe it!
becky is absolutely the best! she can do anything.
10/10. 5 stars. She is incredibly knowledgeable and a highly skilled professional. She saved our relationship, we went from our worst to our best thanks to her.
Becky is the bomb! So thankful I found her!
Becky has helped change my marriage, how i parent, and my relationship with myself! I originally sought her out for my husband and I when divorce was on the table. We felt so comfortable with her and trusted her advice and direction. After working on myself, along with our marriage; my husband and I are the happiest we have ever been. Naturally it felt fitting to also seek her out with our 9yo daughter. After the first visit she couldn't wait to go back! If you are looking for a lifecoach who never judges who is honest and upfront; who welcomes you to make you feel important, understood, call Becky! She has changed my life and my family's as well!!!
We have been seeing Becky for about 3 years. She has been great, helping our family as we went through issues. Her advise provided us with the tools we needed to manage our emotions and expectations of each other, as well as to communicate better. She is always caring and supportive, we are very thankful to have found her.
I’ve been seeing Becky Lennox for therapy for the past 3 years, and she has helped me more than any therapist I’ve worked with in the past. The atmosphere she creates is incredibly inviting and calming, which makes each session feel comfortable and safe. I’ve never felt judged, and I’m able to be completely transparent with her, which has been crucial in my healing process. Becky is compassionate, understanding, and truly skilled at what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking support.
