Announcement:
My Family Wellness Special is turning back the clock for individuals, couples or families who want my specializied help to stay together, reconstruct without destruction, or to reconnect after an absence....
My goal has always been to help other families stay intact, healthier and happier than their own life skills and strategies were able to create for themselves.
Now, after years after knowing and saying that I would not have been able to afford my own rates, to receive the help my family needed, I am dropping my fees to enable more families to benefit from my specialized services. So... my rate is back down to only $60. an hour (plus $1. a minute for any telephone, skype or face-to-face time above the one hour a week. This offer is only available to those who work with me for a minimum of one hour a week.)
Contact me for more information or to set up an appointment at sharonshenker@gmail.com or my direct cell phone line at 514-804-3585
Appointments are available week days, evenings and weekends.

Parental Alienation Syndrome, Part Three
PAS Q & A, Part Three
(copied from a Parental Alienation Awareness Organization handout)
Undermining and interfering with a normal child-parent bond.
Raising Awareness of Parental Alienation and Hostile Aggressive Parenting
Because most people do not know about PA until they experience it, the idea of Parental Alienation Awareness Organization was put forth to help raise awareness and provide education about this growing problem of mental and emotional child abuse.
Our goal is to educate the general public, schools, police, mental health counselors, religious leaders, as well as the perpetrators who may be unaware of the effect of alienating behaviors, and how these behaviors harm children. Our goal is education. We believe that with education comes understanding, and the will and power to stop the emotional and mental abuse of children.
HOW CAN YOU HELP A CHILD AND HIS/HER REJECTED PARENT?
If you are a teacher, counsellor, coach, clergyman, parent of the child’s friend, friend, or family member:
Listen to the child, without negating what the child is saying, regardless of how outlandish it may be (that is the child’s reality) and then encourage the child to hear the rejected parent’s point of view. Appeal to the child’s maturity by saying that is the way mature people handle conflicts.
Appeal to the child’s intellect by encouraging him/her to carefully consider ideas or statements that are blatantly false or outlandish.
Point out to the child how persuasive advertising can influence a person’s thinking and try to relate that to the child’s thinking about the rejected parent.
Look for books or movies that can stimulate discussion about the importance of two parents and the sadness of having only one parent.
Look for opportunities to provide positive input about the targeted parent.
