BHIP® stands for Biopsychosocial Health Intervention and Prevention.
BHIP equips your child with crucial life skills and enables parents to utilize the most effective parenting practices available.
Does your child seem unusually sad, irritable or quiet lately? Such changes in mood could be due to a temporary stress in life. But how do you know if it’s something more? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of children with depression and anxiety has increased over time, and 3.2% of children between the ages of 3 and 17 have a current diagnosis of depression.
Children may experience different types of depression and mood disorders. A licensed mental health professional can provide a diagnosis based on your child's symptoms and recommend the best treatment.

Kids are more successful in school when parents take an active interest in their homework — it shows kids that what they do is important.
Of course, helping with homework shouldn't mean spending hours hunched over a desk. Parents can be supportive by demonstrating study and organization skills, explaining a tricky problem, or just encouraging kids to take a break. And who knows? Parents might even learn a thing or two! 👍

While ADHD affects individuals of all ages, the implications are different for children than for teenagers or adults. For teens, the demands are greater, which means that the symptoms have more direct and serious consequences at school, at home, and at work.
Still, by raising awareness and bringing attention to the implications of ADHD in teenagers, we’re able to better cope with what it means for the teen's health, wellness, and long-term success.

When kids are anxious, it’s natural to want to help them feel better. But by trying to protect kids from the things that upset them, you can accidentally make anxiety worse. The best way to help kids overcome anxiety is to teach them to deal with anxiety as it comes up. With practice, they will be less anxious.
When a child gets upset in an uncomfortable situation and their parents take them out of the situation, they learn that getting upset is a good way to cope. Instead, it’s helpful for parents to let kids know that they’re going to be okay, even if they’re scared. You can’t promise your child that nothing bad will happen. But you can express confidence that they can face their fears and feel less afraid over time.
The goal is to show your child that anxiety is normal and that it doesn’t have to be a big deal!

There are lots of possible reasons for difficult behavior in toddlers and young children.
Often it's just because they're tired, hungry, overexcited, frustrated or bored.
How to handle difficult behavior? 💭
If problem behavior is causing you or your child distress, or upsetting the rest of the family, it's important to deal with it.
Do what feels right 🙌
What you do has to be right for your child, yourself and the family. If you do something you do not believe in or that you do not feel is right, it probably will not work. Children notice when you do not mean what you're saying.

Being a parent is a very challenging, yet honorable job. On one hand, you are teaching and training your children to be the best version of themselves so they can live fulfilled and successful lives...
On the other hand, you as a parent are gaining perspective and seeing things from your parent’s point of view. You are forgiving them for their shortcomings because they were learning just as you are now.
Remember to give your child the grace that you wished you received from your parents. Also make sure to forgive your parents, because you can now see how stressful parenting can be, and that it doesn’t come with a guide or manual 🙌

Moms and Dads, this is why it's important to always mind the tone you are using when speaking to your child 👇
The tone of voice you use when speaking to your children influences, very heavily, your message. It influences how your child is going to receive your message as their parents. When you use a sarcastic, humiliating, degrading tone of voice with them, your child immediately shuts down and automatically stops listening to you 💬
Also, remember that when you are using your tone of voice with them, know that you are modeling for your children. You are showing them the way to speak to people, to speak to their peers, and to speak to their teachers.

While using their cell phones, parents talk to their kids less, respond more slowly, and overreact to being interrupted which is unhealthy 📱❌
Data has shown that mobile device usage cuts across all aspects of family time. It was found that children and parents both spent approximately the same amount of time (around 90 minutes) using mobile devices when together. We found all these patterns to be particularly pronounced among young people aged 14 to 16 ✔️
Electronic device use likely deprives parents of the opportunity to provide meaningful emotional support and positive feedback to their children which causes their offspring to revert to even more problematic behavior such as throwing tantrums or sulking.
