As a parent, although we want to see our children thrive and flourish in their environment, at times, we are at a complete loss as to how to make that happen.
Child counseling- this is a type of therapy that focuses on young children, teens, and adolescents with one or more mental illnesses. It also provides aid to youths, who have experienced trauma, and/or who are experiencing a dysfunctional or stressful home environment. Many of the issues these children face mimicking the issues adults face in their day-to-day lives. Some of these common issues include anxiety, depression, and grief.
The goal of child counseling, however, is to break down problems into manageable parts, so children can better understand and cope with them (Dr. Langham, 2019). For most parents, the health and well-being of their child are some of the most important things in life. If the child is happy, the parent is happy. If the child is sad or disturbed, it can be difficult for a parent to focus on much else. As a parent, although we want to see our children thrive and flourish in their environment, at times, we are at a complete loss as to how to do it; with some days filled with tears, screaming, slamming doors, or silence.
Child counselors/therapists or psychologists- are mental health specialists, who offer invaluable insight into your child’s social and emotional development and mental health. It is important to understand that many times “glitches” in these areas may not be visible to the people closest to the child. That is where child counselors come in. These individuals have the knowledge and expertise to recognize, identify, pinpoint, assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, adjustment issues (divorce, new school, bullying, grief, etc.), and psychological distress. They are trained to “get into the minds of children,” so they can help them make sense of what is going on in their minds, bodies, and lives (Dr. Langham, 2019).
