Solutions That Work for You & Your Child --Guaranteed!
Ready to tear your hair out? Ready to make things better for both you and your child? Or just have a question about how to help your kids thrive? Why not ask Dr. Markham?
Welcome to the Dr. Markham question and answer pages. Your Question may well have been answered already. You can search and sort the questions/answers using the categories or the search box to the right.
Tired of searching? Just want to ask Dr. Markham to help you resolve your issue with your child? Want a personal response from an experienced psychologist who understands kids and knows how to help you transform your child's behavior ?
As a special service to her regular readers, Dr. Markham personally answers letters for a minimal fee. Her responses take as much time as a session, so it's the best bargain on this website, and the price will be increasing soon -- but for now you can still get Dr. Laura herself to assess your situation and give you her detailed advice. The only catch? Your letter, minus any identifying info, will show up in her letters column to help other parents with similar situations.
Wonder what kind of response you'll get? Check out the letters column and see what responses she's given to other parents. Here's what some of them have to say:
"Dear Dr. Markham -- Thank you very much for your time and your thorough, thoughtful answer. My husband and I both really found it helpful. It is wonderful that you are doing this online in addition to what I'm sure is a very busy practice. We were astounded that you described our son as "sensitive" from the info I gave you, since we read a book about sensitive kids, after seeing our son get overstimulated in some environments, and wondered if he was one, ourselves. Again, I'm very grateful for your email and your wisdom." -- Seetha"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your response, I was so moved by it. You gave me a very deep insight. " -- Valeria
"THANK YOU so much! This was so reassuring.... I am looking forward to implementing these tips .. You have given me some great insight in how to be with my son. So thank you for your help and willingness to answer our questions." --Jessi
"I like you so much! You were so warm and direct and helpful with practical suggestions." -- Nin4
"Dear Dr. Laura, I honestly feel like that is the best advice I have ever received. I am already seeing things differently and I promise you that I will follow every step and improve this situation. Things are coming around for our family and getting better slowly but surely. I can sense my stress level lifting a bit and I want to capitalize on that. You are very talented at what you do. Thank you very much for taking the time to care! I hope it encourages you to know that what you told me to do (everything from starting school - which I am registering for right now - to taking time to find fun ways to clean up - and even to stop taking out my frustrations on a helpless two year old who is just that... a two year old) I will do it. Thank you so much again and God bless you for your selfless work." -- Jessica
"I was worried we might need counseling, but you put your finger on what my daughter needed, just from my letter. I know I have to do the work -- but it's worth it. Thanks for the support and the very clear suggestions. And thanks for making me feel like a good mom, even though I needed help. I guess we all need help sometimes, right?" -- Jenny
For much less than the cost of a personal consultation with a psychologist, you can get a solution to your specific problem, written personally by Dr. Laura Markham herself.
