We all want our children to be happy. But sometimes, ensuring the emotional well-being of your preschool aged child can be difficult. You might find that as your child grows there are times when the happiness of your child is simply out of your hands. Your child might be experiencing poor self-esteem, emotional imbalance, or behavioral problems such as outbursts, temper tantrums, and destructive behavior; the most important thing to remember is that this is normal for young children. At ELEOS we understand that you have been doing everything you can to regulate your child’s mood and increase his or her positive behavior. Perhaps your preschooler is experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability, and as hard as you may try, there may come a time when your words just aren’t enough to help your child. You’ve done the best you can and have probably been implementing your own strategies, but if you’re not seeing the results that you want it’s ok to ask for help.
At ELEOS Psychology Center we’ll help you to better understand your child’s behavior, and arm you with the knowledge you need to create a positive environment for your child. Our talented therapists will help you take their teachings beyond your child’s therapy session by instructing you on how to be more effective in your child’s learning. You’ll learn how to be more effective while helping your child be compliant or while assisting them with regulating their mood. At ELEOS our team will work with you to create the environment your child needs for healing; both inside and outside of our therapy center.

How ELEOS Behavioral Therapy in Edina Can Help Your Child
At ELEOS we know that the key to successful child therapy lies in getting to know your child, establishing a trusting relationship, and understanding what will help them best. Our compassionate therapists are equipped with a wide array of research driven techniques to better help your child. The goal of our therapists is always to improve your relationship with your child by passing along parenting strategies that will improve your child’s behavior and well-being.
Another one of our goals at ELEOS is to help your child feel comfortable and safe while teaching them therapeutic concepts in a way custom tailored to them. Such practices may include drawing pictures, playing games, interacting with toys, or doing whatever else they enjoy. Our therapists find that by interacting with a child in a way that is most comfortable to them, the child will, in turn, feel less inhibited and more comfortable in the therapy setting.
One of the most beloved tactics used in therapy at ELEOS is play therapy. Studies have shown that play therapy is proven to help children learn crucial social skills, communication skills, and self-regulation; all of which make up your child’s most basic social structure. Playing, for your child, is a very natural activity and is a comfortable way for them to communicate. If you’ve ever observed your child playing at length, you may have noticed that through their toys, they create personality traits, dilemmas, solutions, and dialogue.
Our skilled child psychologists use play as a way to recreate scenarios to work through or to better facilitate discussions on tricky or uncomfortable subjects. Our therapists have found that playtime and make-believe are great ways to teach children therapeutic concepts in a way they can relate to, understand and enjoy. The best part about utilizing play therapy tactics in a child’s therapy plan is the ability for you, the parent or guardian, to replicate the experience at home. You’ll have the opportunity to work with your child to develop healthy habits in the comfort of your own home. Whether your preschooler is struggling with regulating themselves, putting emotions into words, or developing relationships with others, our Edina behavioral therapists are here to help.
