In specific therapies, parents actively participate, while in others, therapists engage directly with the child, updating parents regularly.
Children as young as two can benefit from therapy. The optimal starting age varies based on the child’s needs, family objectives, and therapist expertise. By age 12, children can transition to adolescent therapists who employ distinct techniques. Always consult with your therapist regarding age appropriateness.
While psychologists offer invaluable support, they can’t prescribe medication. Child psychiatrists manage the medication aspect of treatment. Often, children will engage in regular therapy sessions with a psychologist alongside psychiatrist visits.
If your child needs therapy, they probably do. Concerns about your child’s words, actions, or feelings are valid indicators to consult a specialized therapist.
Consider mental health like physical health. Occasional mood swings or bad days are manageable, but persistent concerns warrant professional attention.
Indicators Your Child Might Need Therapy:
- Persistent sadness or depression
- Social withdrawal
- Frequent angry outbursts
- Loss of interest in favorite activities
- Severe mood fluctuations
- Substance abuse
- Attention deficits (ADD/ADHD)
- Abuse experiences
- Developmental delays
- Family upheavals like divorce
- Grieving the loss of a loved one or pet
- Eating disorders
- Sleep disturbances
- Unexplained physical complaints
