Doctor Boskovitz has more than 25 years’ experience working with teens and young adults in many varied settings, ranging from inner city schools to outlying, underserved areas. Dr. Boskovitz’s approach is based on the popular, innovative work of Francoise Dolto, MD, a noted French child psychiatrist, who advocated strongly for children to be considered as free agents from their earliest childhood.
Parents’ and educators’ responsibility is to genuinely respect the child’s person as they provide a clear structure with rules and expectations for the child to develop safely and optimally. This promotes freedom, confidence, and responsibility from a young age.
Dr. Boskovitz offers this authentic approach to her readers. She gives them the tools to cultivate their inner strength and independance, and assume responsibility for themselves with confidence.
Dr. Boskovitz obtained her Doctorate in Educational Psychology/Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston.
