Childhood is that time
of a person’s life when we he or she is the most gullible and vulnerable. It is
at this stage of their lives that they can be easily be influenced and their
believes can be carved. A couple of years ago, the life of a typical 10-11 year
old would involve a specific time for school, meal, play time, studies and
sleeping. Their co-curricular activity was usually for their recreational
purpose and hobby and nothing too complicated.
If you ask a child
psychologist, they would confirm this fact that the
number of children that were bought for therapy back then was much less
compared to today’s numbers. Today children are pit against each other in this
race to be the best in everything. Best in academics, best in sports, best in
dance, arts, crafts and so much more. All this is bound to add burden over the
child’s tender shoulders. In case they are unable to achieve the benchmark that
is set by their parents, they are usually made to feel guilty and end up
feeling worthless for not being able to fulfil their parent’s expectations.
This can lead to
additional pressure over the child which will in affect him or her mentally. If
this happens, it is the duty of the parents to take him for a child
therapy. A psychologist is specialised in providing you and
your child with all the support and mental exercising helping him or her to
stabilise. It is important that a parent pays close attention to their child’s
behaviour as symptoms of depression and anxiety can be easily spotted in kids.
It is also vital that
parents create an environment of ease at home, where the children can come up
to the parents and talk openly about the problems they are facing with any of
their daily activities.
