Beth Grosshans

Beth Grosshans, a seasoned child psychologist with over two decades of experience, has dedicated her career to assisting countless families facing the challenges of parenting. Specializing in child psychology, she empathizes with parents who have exhausted their efforts in search of effective solutions. Driven by the desire to support these families, Beth has provided them with a wealth of strategies to cultivate strong, loving, and effective parenting skills essential for raising self-controlled, respectful, and cooperative children. In her extensive work, Beth has encountered a wide range of parental concerns, including children struggling to manage their temper, communicate effectively, or grappling with anxiety that can make everyday tasks seem daunting. Issues related to sleep, eating, and toileting are also common hurdles, with children often exhibiting avoidance, refusal, or intense demands on their parents. Parents navigating the complexities of teaching basic life skills such as self-control, respect, cooperation, and independent sleeping and eating often find themselves in uncharted territory. As a dedicated professional in the field, Beth's mission has been to offer these families the answers and strategies they need to surmount these challenges. Academically, she earned her B.A. in Psychology at The University of Cincinnati and pursued further studies at Ohio State University, where she attained her Master's degree and Ph.D. in Clinical Child Psychology. She honed her skills during an internship at Boston Children's Hospital and Judge Baker's Children's Center psychiatric inpatient unit, gaining invaluable insights from Harvard Medical School luminaries. In 1994, she founded her private practice, where she provided support to individuals grappling with emotional and behavioral issues. Here, she identified a significant pattern: when children wielded more power than their parents, it often resulted in emotional and behavioral disorders. Recognizing the gravity of this phenomenon, known as Imbalanced Family Power (IFP), Beth developed an effective five-step strategy called The Ladder to Effectiveness. This groundbreaking approach has empowered numerous families to restore balance and harmony to their relationships. Beyond her clinical work, Beth's passion for education led her to teach child development at the Princeton Center for Teacher Education for over 15 years, sharing her expertise with Montessori educators nationwide. She also extended her reach by providing proven parenting methods to schools and treatment facilities, collaborating with fellow mental health professionals to create personalized treatment plans. As an accomplished author, she penned "Beyond Time Out: From Chaos to Calm" in 2008, offering parents and caregivers a powerful tool to navigate familial power dynamics. Her work has touched the lives of countless families, underscoring her unwavering commitment to nurturing healthy family relationships. Though she has retired from clinical practice, Dr. Grosshans continues to channel her passion for writing and speaking to parents and educators about child development and discipline, ensuring her impactful legacy endures.
