What is Children in Mind?
Children in Mind is clinical child psychology in today’s world. Mental, behavioural and emotional problems in children and adolescents have escalated in recent times. Some research has suggested that today’s children are more unhappy and anxious than they used to be. Children and teenagers are growing up in a very different world to the one in which most of us were raised. Today’s world is digital, fast-paced, unstable, socio-economically diverse and alienated from nature.
How do I know if my child or teenager needs help?
Children usually don’t usually use words to tell their parents and teachers they are suffering. They communicate instead through their ‘bad’, confusing, difficult or strange behaviour.
How can a psychologist help you to help your child?
As a parent, when your child or teenager is mentally vulnerable, highly stressed, emotionally unstable or behaving in ways that are hard to understand, an appointment with a psychologist can be a good place to start. You know your child best so – with some psychological guidance – you might be the person most suited to give your child what he or she needs in order to feel better.
