Middle Childhood

Middle childhood is the age bracket between 7-12 years of age. As the child grows, it is can be difficult to assess what is developmentally typical or when there might be a need to investigate further.

If you have questions or concerns, we can together address any of the following topics:

  • Building healthy relationships with siblings, family and peers
  • Anxiety
  • ADHD
  • Behavioral challenges
  • Developmental disorders
  • Self-regulation
  • Bullying
  • Nutrition habits
  • Educational success
  • Self-esteem
  • Social skills
  • Screen-time and video game management

Believe in your child and what they can become. Also, be their greatest fan and watch them thrive.

Middle Childhood Services

  • Parenting support

    Strategies to encourage positive development

    Each consultation will provide effective parenting strategies that will encourage you, as well as restore peace and harmony in your home.

  • Observations & Recommendations

    An ecosystemic approach

    When a child is experiencing adjustment difficulties, observing them in their environment allows us to determine their functioning in their daily routines to better understand them. Observations may take place at daycare and / or at home. Following the observations, a detailed report will be written and will include recommendations for the parents and educators.

  • Psychoeducational Assessment

    Screening and assessing adjustment difficulties

    A psychoeducational assessment of a child not yet admissible to preschool education who shows signs of developmental delay, will help determine the different services which can be offered.

  • Intervention Plans

    Personalized plan to achieve success

    Each intervention plan explains the steps and includes those persons able to help support and guide the child towards success. This usually involves the parents, other family members, educators, or professionals whenever necessary. Plans are revised as needed.

ADHD: “My child is restless…”

Children with ADHD can be very restless at home as well as in the classroom. This can be difficult to manage as well as impact the family dynamics. It can as well impact their learning. I was invited to collaborate on a series of videos with the Learning Disabilities Institute to help parents, educators and students learn tools that will help. This video provides strategies on how to help limit their restlessness, and deal with their need to move.
