- I'm a child therapist, and I get so many calls from parents during the month of August.
- People often tell me that their kids are fighting too much or that everyone is on edge.
- I like to remind them that August is hard on kids and parents.
As a child therapist, my voicemail inbox hits capacity between the first weeks of August.
I get more calls during these days than any other week of the calendar year.
