Your Family Doesn’t Need to Suffer in Silence
First and foremost, we want you to know you are not alone. As they say, raising kids takes a village. It is challenging sometimes downright difficult, and often relatively thankless. Yet, just about any parent that you ask will tell you that it’s a small price to pay.
The love and joy children bring is unparalleled. Part of raising children is ensuring that appropriate attention is paid to maintaining both their physical and mental well-being. The mental health and development of children can be incredibly complex. Those small bodies can often have unfathomably big feelings inside.
As adults, we tend to forget that our young ones are still learning how emotions and feelings work in relation to the world around them. When we remember that though, we are able to put ourselves in their place more easily.
When Does Your Child Need Therapy?
As parent, it’s natural to wonder if we did something wrong when your child is struggling. That question can bring a wave of guilt, confusion, or even helplessness. But, often a child’s emotional distress isn’t a reflection of our parenting it’s a reflection of what they are going through in the their world.
Children face real challenges, many of which we may never fully see at school, with peers, or in their own internal thoughts. When we acknowlege that their emotions are valid, we help create a space wheere they feel safe expressing themselves. Even if the feelings seem big, confusing, or unfamiliar to them, that’s okay. That’s part of growing up and it’s normal.
Getting professional support ensures your child has the tools they need to develop emotionally and socially. Therapies such as play, art, dance, or music can help uncover root causes and teach healthy coping skills in ways that make sense to children. Therapy meets kids where they are and helps them move forward with confidence.
The Tiniest of Pebbles Can Cause an Enormous Ripple Effect
All of the issues we mentioned above can have a potentially lasting effect on your child’s development.
Even when perceived to be minor, they can persist and create challenges well into their adult lives.
In many cases, children can develop anxiety over seemingly simple things, and they often don’t have the capacity to articulate their feelings to you.
Working with a professional now can help prevent much more lengthy and intense recovery efforts later in life.
As a parent, you. can tell when something just isn’t right with your child, even if you can’t put a finger on it.
This can be concerning, frustrating, and even frightening because there’s little more terrifying in this world than not being able to help your child when you feel they may need it.
Pathways Counseling Services is here for you, to make sure that you and your child can get the help you need to grow in a constructive, positive direction.
Below we’ll explore each of the issues we mentioned a little deeper. If any of them resonate with you, we invite you to contact us for an appointment.
