events, and risky behaviors.

CHILD COUNSELLING

Some people hardly believe that young children may struggle with mental problems (cognitive, emotional, or behavioral) that may require serious attention as it may
escalate as they grow older. Early problems may not get better by their own, or even after all parent’s efforts. In these situations, children require professional mental health support to help them think, feel, and act better. Some of these problems are:

ADHD, learning problems, low self-esteem or disturbed self-image, sadness and
depression, loss and grief, stress, and anxiety (around separation, performance, …),
OCD, eating disorders, bullying and disruptive behaviors, social or language disorderslike selective mutism.

Counselling and therapy help children to believe in themselves and find their strengths, regulate their emotions, build helpful thinking patterns and healthy behavioral habits. As a result, they can meet developmental expectations, adjust better, enjoy their childhood, and move forward. Usually, children like therapy sessions and engage easily because everything is
presented to them through play, drawing and artistic activities rather than talking. So, children often accept therapy well and more than that, have fun and enjoy it.
