Child Counselling
Child problems can encompass a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental issues that children may encounter at various stages of their growth. Early identification and intervention are crucial for effective management and resolution.
Common Symptoms of Child Problems Include:
- Behavioral Issues: Frequent tantrums, aggression, or defiance beyond what is typically observed in children of the same age.
- Emotional Distress: Excessive anxiety, persistent sadness, mood swings, or signs of depression.
- Social Withdrawal: Avoiding or struggling to interact with other children and adults.
- Academic Difficulties: Sudden drop in grades, lack of interest in schoolwork, or frequent school absences.
- Physical Symptoms: Unexplained headaches, stomachaches, or other physical complaints that do not have a medical basis.
- Developmental Delays: Not reaching emotional, social, or academic milestones appropriate for their age.
- Changes in Eating or Sleeping Habits: Significant alterations in appetite or sleep patterns that disrupt normal activities.
These symptoms can cause concern for family members who wish to support their child but may feel unsure about the appropriate steps to take.
