💬 “Why is my child acting like this?”
It’s a question we hear often—and it's an important one, because we need to understand why the challenging behaviors are occurring.

Whether your child is overwhelmed, seeking attention (even the negative kind), or hasn’t yet developed the skills to manage strong emotions like anxiety or frustration… their behavior is communicating something important.

At Keystone Center for Pediatric Behavioral Health, we help families move beyond the behavior to uncover what’s really going on—and how to support kids in healthier, more effective ways.

💙 Behavior is communication. Let’s work together to understand it.

The start of a new school year can bring big feelings. Some are completely normal. Others may be signs your child needs a little more support.

💬 If you’re noticing frequent stomachaches, sleep issues, emotional outbursts, or resistance to school, it might be time to take a closer look.

We help families move beyond the behavior to uncover what’s really going on—and what your child needs to feel safe, confident, and ready to tackle the school day.

Now that the kids are back in school… is homework time starting to feel like a daily battle? 😩✏️

Kids are tired.
Parents are tired.
And somehow there’s still more to get done at the end of the day.

Dr. Elise McIver shares a few simple strategies that can make this part of the day a little easier—for everyone:
✔️ Give kids time to decompress before jumping in
✔️ Create a distraction-free space and simple visual schedule
✔️ Use tools like timers or “Beat the Buzzer” to boost motivation
✔️ And don’t forget to notice the effort—they need the encouragement, especially now 💙

A few small shifts can go a long way in helping your child (and you) feel more regulated during that after-school stretch.

📞 If your child is struggling with routines, focus, or emotional regulation, give us a call at (985) 234-0228 or visit keystonecenterpbh.com—we're here to support your family.

Is back-to-school anxiety already showing up in your home? Whether it’s stomach aches, meltdowns, trouble sleeping, or nonstop questions... we're here to tell you that these signs of stress are a real thing—and completely normal.

For kids with anxiety, autism, or emotional regulation challenges, big transitions like the first day of school can feel especially overwhelming and unpredictable for them.

We created this 5-day countdown to help your family ease back into school with less stress and more confidence. It’s not about perfection—it’s about preparation, connection, and understanding what your child needs to feel safe.

💛 If your child has a hard time with change, needs a little more support with transitions, or if you’re unsure what’s typical vs. when to seek help—we’re here to guide you through it.

Kids don’t just listen—they watch. 💛
In this video, Dr. Elise McIver shares why modeling emotional regulation and calm behavior is one of the most powerful tools we have as parents and caregivers.

When we show our kids how to navigate big feelings with patience and care, we’re teaching them skills they’ll carry for a lifetime.
Even in the messy moments, how we respond matters.
It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present, consistent, and intentional.

Summer meltdowns are real.
Long days, heat, and lack of routine can be tough for kids—and even tougher for parents trying to hold it all together.

If your child is having more emotional outbursts than usual, you’re not alone. It doesn’t mean something is wrong—it means they need support.

Swipe through for gentle ways to help your child navigate those moments while keeping your own calm in the process. 💙

And remember: progress isn’t always visible, but it is happening. You’re doing a great job.

If you’ve been wondering whether your child could benefit from extra support, summer is a great time to reach out. 💬

Tantrums are tough—for kids and parents. 😩

Dr. Elise McIver shares some honest insight: when kids escalate, our natural instinct is to match that energy. But staying calm—while hard—is one of the most powerful things we can do. 💙

Here are a few key reminders:
✔️ Model the emotional regulation you want to see
✔️ Avoid giving too much attention to the behavior itself
✔️ Praise your child when they show calm, coping skills

Kids aren’t born knowing how to manage big feelings. They learn by watching us—and with the right tools, support, and patience, those moments of calm will grow.

Summer = Space to Breathe 💛

As a parent, you might finally have a little breathing room now that school is out—and sometimes, that’s when concerns about your child become more noticeable.

At Keystone Center, our evaluations aren’t just about identifying challenges—they’re about helping families gain clarity, direction, and peace of mind. Even if a diagnosis isn’t what you expected, we’ll walk you through every step and work together on a plan that feels right for your child.

If this has been on your heart, please reach out. Let’s talk about how we can support your family this summer.

Children feel deeply. Their emotions—no matter how big, loud, quiet, or confusing—require our attention, patience, and care.

We believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, understood, and supported. Emotional wellness starts with the simple act of noticing and naming feelings—and reminding children that it's okay to feel all the things.

Whether your child is navigating anxiety, frustration, sadness, or joy, our role as parents, educators, and care providers is to hold space for those emotions and respond with compassion. When we validate a child’s experience, and meet them with understanding instead of judgement, we do more than comfort—we help build the foundation for confidence, connection, and long-term mental wellness. This priceless act gives them the tools to grow into emotionally healthy, resilient adults.

Every feeling is valid.💚 Every child matters.💚
And we’re here for all of it.

“Is this typical… or something more?” ✨
It’s not always easy for parents to tell. Dr. McIver shares why starting the conversation—with your child’s pediatrician—is a great first step toward clarity and support.

Are you a parent who thinks your child might be showing signs of autism? 💙
If so, you’re not alone—and we want you to know that it’s okay to have questions, emotions, and even uncertainty about what to do next.

At Keystone Center, we’ve walked with many families through this exact moment—the wondering, the waiting, the hope for answers. With Dr. Elise McIver, our goal isn’t just to provide a diagnosis. It’s to give you real clarity, a deeper understanding of your child, and a plan that feels right for your family.

Even when autism is suspected, hearing it confirmed can still feel heavy. But time and time again, parents tell us they leave feeling relieved, empowered, and hopeful. That’s what we’re here for.

We believe every child deserves to be seen for who they are—not just a list of symptoms. And every parent deserves to feel supported, heard, and guided with compassion.

If you’re at the point where you’re not sure what comes next, we’d be honored to help you figure that out—together. Reach out when you're ready: (985) 234-0228 - we’re here when you need us.
