Behavior Modification

Behaviour Modification Therapy

In today’s world, it is a time of considerable change during which children are required to navigate a variety of developmental obstacles. Various emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety or depression may arise during this period due to any number of stressful circumstances: the demand of study, performance expectations, peer pressure or family conflict. Individuals who cope best with this period are those with the skills to deal with their emotions, deal with other people, generate solutions to problems they experience, and feel good about themselves.
