Challenging behaviors are often a sign that a child is struggling — not misbehaving on purpose.

When we focus on understanding instead of just correcting, real change happens.

Gov. Jeff Landry’s administration is abruptly ending contracts with two of the six companies that provide Medicaid insurance in Louisiana, a move that could leave 488,500 residents uncertain of what health care they will have starting Jan. 1.

Parenting today comes with a lot of challenges — and kids face more emotional pressure than ever before. Therapy isn’t just for crisis situations. It is an investment in your child’s emotional health. It is a powerful tool for help them build resilience, insight, and confidence.

💬1. It gives kids a safe space

Children and teens often hold back their worries to avoid “disappointing” parents.

Therapy offers a confidential, judgment-free space to express feelings honestly — whether it’s anxiety, sadness, anger, or confusion.

🧠 2. It teaches emotional skills

Many kids don’t automatically know how to manage stress, conflict, or disappointment.

Therapists help them learn to identify feelings, regulate emotions, and communicate effectively — skills that improve school performance and relationships.

❤️ 3. It builds self-awareness and confidence

Understanding emotions helps children feel more in control.
Therapy fosters insight, problem-solving, and self-esteem — empowering them to make healthy choices as they grow.

👨‍👩‍👧 4. It strengthens family relationships

When a child learns to express needs and emotions safely, it often improves communication at home.
Therapists may also guide parents in responding to their child’s emotions in supportive, practical ways.

🌱 5. It prevents bigger struggles later

Early support can stop small problems from growing into depression, anxiety, or behavioral issues later on.
Therapy equips kids with coping tools they’ll carry into adulthood.

Sheriff Tim Soignet is pleased to inform the public of a series of training classes that will be offered through the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office, on several dates throughout the summer. The Internet Safety training for parents and children focuses on educating families about online risks and how to stay safe while using the internet. This includes understanding potential dangers, recognizing unsafe situations, and developing strategies to protect oneself and one's children online. Resources like the FBI's Safe Online Surfing program and NetSmartz by NCMEC offer age-appropriate materials and activities to teach kids about online safety.

The classes will be instructed by Criminal Investigators of the Special Victim’s Unit of the Sheriff’s Office, and parents are asked to refrain from allowing their children to attend unless they have reached 12 years of age, due to the sensitive nature of the material being discussed.

The classes will take place at the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office Rifle Range and Academy, located at 2100 Savanne Road, in Houma, from 6:00pm – 7:00pm, and attendees are asked to RSVP by sending an email to 1st Lt. Blake A. Tabor, at btabor@tpso.net.

The training dates are as follows:

June 12, 2025
July 10, 2025
July 24, 2025

We hope to see everyone in attendance!
