Lori Abosch

Child Behavior Specialist

Children are not things to be molded but are people to be unfolded.

My approach focuses on educating parents to understand the underlying reasons for their children’s inappropriate behaviors. I equip them with the most effective strategies and tools available, ensuring they can permanently reduce and eliminate both mild and severe behavioral issues. My goal is to empower parents with the knowledge and skills they need to foster a more harmonious and joyful family environment.

“The ultimate goal for parents is not to provide so that kids want for nothing, it is to build and support a foundation of competence so that kids believe they can achieve anything.”

My Story

Lori Abosch Child Behavior Specialist near me

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to visit my website.

My name is Lori Abosch, and I am a Child Behavior Specialist and Parent Educator for families across the country. I am deeply passionate about educating parents and helping them to navigate the challenging yet rewarding journey of raising children.

My story is not just about my professional experience but also about my personal journey, which has profoundly shaped my understanding and approach to child behavior.

From a young age, I was always drawn to helping others and knew from the depths of my being that I was put on this earth for a reason. Growing up, I faced my own set of challenges and, through those experiences, developed a deep empathy for children struggling with behavior issues, especially those with special needs and the ones labeled ‘bad,’ ‘troubled,’ and ‘beyond hope’.

I remember feeling misunderstood, frustrated, unseen at my essence and also underestimated in many facets of my young life. These misperceptions, while not easy to surpass, ignited a relentless drive within me to bring concrete solutions to parents who are going through similar experiences.

My professional journey began with a degree in child and adolescent development, but my true education came from the countless hours spent working directly with children and their families in schools, for nonprofit organizations, in homes and the community.

I have worked as a paraprofessional, nanny, teacher and administrator of private schools, as well as an independent consultant for families and schools attempting to manage children with mild to severe behavioral issues for over 30 years. Each child I’ve worked with has taught me something new, and every family’s story has added to my understanding of the complexities of child behavior.

I’ve seen firsthand how behavioral issues can strain relationships and create a stressful home environment. I’ve also seen the incredible transformations that can occur when families receive the right support and guidance. Spiritually, I believe that every child is a unique and beautiful soul on a journey of growth and learning.

My approach is developmental in nature and holistic, taking into account not just the child’s behavior but their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. I work closely with parents to help them understand why their children act the way they do. In comprehending the why, parents can then confidently make the necessary adjustments in their own parenting style to create a nurturing environment where their children can thrive and function happily and cooperatively in age-appropriate ways.

I understand that parenting is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, and it often feels overwhelming, especially when dealing with behavior problems.

I’ve been in your shoes, feeling the weight of worry and frustration. I know what it’s like to stay up at night wondering if you’re doing everything right, feeling the strain of trying to balance love and discipline. I’ve experienced the heartache of seeing a child struggle and the joy of witnessing their breakthroughs.

This journey is not easy, but you are not alone. I am here to offer you my undeniable expertise, support, and a compassionate heart.

Together, we can create a plan that addresses your child’s specific needs and brings harmony back to your home. My goal is to empower you with the tools and strategies you need to help your child succeed and to build a strong, positive relationship with them. Thank you for trusting me to be a part of your journey. I am honored to work alongside you and your family, guiding you through the challenges and celebrating the victories.

Let’s embark on this path together, with hope and confidence, towards a brighter future for your child.

With love and dedication,

Lori Abosch

What Makes Me Different

As parents, you might typically seek out a licensed therapist when facing behavioral challenges with your children at home or school.

However, what you really need is the assistance of a professional who truly understands and specializes in child development. Many behavioral issues that impact day-to-day functioning and the quality of your child’s relationships with parents, siblings, peers, and teachers are best addressed from a developmental perspective rather than a purely psychological one.

Developmental Expertise

I focus on understanding the core developmental stages and how they impact your child’s behavior. This allows for more accurate identification and effective interventions for behavioral issues.

 

 

 

 

Immediate Insights

Core issues are identified and addressed in the very first session. This means that parents often begin to see significant improvements within the first week when they follow through with the strategies provided.

 

 

 

Holistic Approach

My approach is holistic, emphasizing intrinsic rewards and natural consequences. This helps parents avoid reliance on reward charts and timeouts, promoting a healthier and more sustainable behavior management system.

 

 

 

Efficient Process

Unlike traditional therapy, which can take months or even years to show results, my method is designed to bring about noticeable changes in a much shorter time. Parents who commit to weekly sessions and apply the strategies at home typically see significant and permanent behavioral progress in just 6 sessions.
