"A child is not a by-product of his education but largely a by-product of his/her experiences"
It is a common myth that counselling is simply "talk therapy" and children do not benefit because they ‘hardly understand’ their mindset. The fact is that children become capable of understanding their environment ever since they are born.
At the same time, counselling children is not just about talking to them and a variety of child-centered techniques are utilized to enable students better interpret the concerns they are experiencing and/or the trauma that occurred – in a way they can process and understand.
If a child’s concerns are left unattended, it can have a long-lasting negative impact on his/her educational, psychological, physical and moral development. Their developmental milestones can also be affected leaving them and their loved ones in worry. It is normal for children to not be able to share their problems with their parents as they often fear that they might disappoint the parents even if the parents have been emotionally transparent.
So early intervention is the resolution here. If you feel or have observed that your child is going through any concern and you need professional help, feel free to get in touch for child counselling and together we can work towards the mental well-being of your child.
