Kidology
Description
All children go through emotional ups and downs. Feeling sad, angry or frustrated from time to time is normal. Life-changing events can take a toll on kids, and lead to changes in their behavior. It’s important for parents to recognize the difference between normal “growing pains” and behavioral problems.
Behavior problems that last for six months or more could be a sign that a child needs behavioral therapy. These problems are often more serious and can involve behavior that is aggressive or disruptive.
Children with behavioral problems don’t seem to act their age. Signs that a toddler may have behavior disorder include:
- Head banging
- Repeated biting, hitting or kicking
Older children who are violent or destructive need professional medical help. Other warning signs of trouble in any age group include: - Constant fighting
- Damaging property
- Disrespect for authority figures
- Dishonesty
- Dramatic mood swings
- Engaging in early sexual activity
- Frequent nightmares
- Performing poorly in school
- Threatening to run away
- Skipping school
- Anxiety that interferes with normal activities, such as school work or social activities
- Significant changes in sleeping or eating habits
- Stealing
- Using drugs or alcohol

Kidology is a rapidly growing organization. They speak many languages — I have seen them in action from the beginning and it’s amazing to watch families who have multiple children return, tell friends, and neighbors. Kidology’s owner is a speech language pathologist so she really makes sure that people are taken care of and feel that they are in good hands.

The therapist are very caring and compassionate about their services, I highly recommend this organization if you are in need of therapy for your child. They offer a variety of services for children who have not met their developmental milestones.

Luba from Kidology has been working with my daughter for the past 6 months. My daughter has made incredible progress and I truly credit Luba. Her knowledge, patience, and genuine passion for what she does is outstanding. I feel so fortunate to have found her and that she is such a big part of my daughter’s life
