Are you having trouble with your child’s behavior? Have you been getting notes and calls about your child getting in trouble at school? There are options that can help besides punishment, which will not really help if it is a mental condition. One of the many therapists in the Tega Cay area can help you figure it out.

You and your child can take the day to go visit some of the Tega Cay parks after your appointment with the therapist. Windjammer Park has a playground and picnic area on the waterfront, Lake Wylie offers swimming, boating, and fishing, and Carrowinds Amusement Park has roller coasters, games, and other rides to enjoy.
