HELPING YOUR CHILD COPE UP



Childhood is one of the most innocent phases of a person’s life. It is in this phase that we can let ourselves loose and free and do what we like. It is a time when our everyday being is taken care of by our parents or guardians and that we have to do is play a lot of games, eat well, have good sleep and of course study too. But every child is different and hence, children can have different problems too. If your kid has a problem it will affect their health, mentally and physically and hence it is important to address these issues as soon as possible. 

The problems they face might be related to something in school, extra-curricular classes or their friends. Some problems might be of bigger scale like sexual assault, violence, abuse by teacher or any parent and so on. That is why schools today see to it that they recruit the best child psychologist who not only provides a non-judgemental ear to the children so that they talk to him or her freely but also helps them carve out a solution to it. 

Child therapy is based on the fact that kids learn by doing. In younger kids these activities are playing, drawing and talking. In older ones, therapists focus on sharing activities and ideas so that they develop skills to learn. 

Now what really happens in a therapy? Initially, the therapist would want to know and listen what actually the problem is. They would want to listen to the child’s side of the story. Then accordingly, they help chalk out a plan so that the child gets a solution in a well-structured manner. 

This plan includes a lot of talking, doing activities that teaches the kid about feelings and coping skills and so on.

MENDING AND HEALING RELAITONSHIPS

There is no relationship in the world that does not face problems between the two people. When we talk about a relationship, we have to keep in mind that we are talking about two different individuals coming together to form a beautiful bond of love. Two people with different ideologies and different thinking striving to be accommodating of each other’s needs and maintaining a balance in their own. This system of accommodating and acceptance is going to have a little bit of friction leading to minor fights. But what is important, is how the two people make up after the fight and whether they accept and move on from the incident. Sometimes, a fight or a situation can be so gruesome that both or one of the individuals cannot let go of it. That is when they need the help of a relationship advisor who may be a friend close to the family, a family member or a professional who is trained to deal with couples’ issues on a daily basis. This relationship advisor’s main aim is to first...

COMBATTING DEPRESSION WITH FAMILY’S HELP

Feeling sad is normal. We all feel sad from time to time. The reasons for this sadness may vary. Death or loss of a close one, break up, failure, fight, are some of the instances that make us sad as humans. But eventually, we learn to accept the facts of what has happened, and we move on. Gradually, you feel better and you start living normally again. But what if, this sadness never goes away? What if, you keep feeling sad, and not knowing what is making you sad makes it worse?

HOW CHILDHOOD SCARS AFFECT ADULTHOOD

We all face different types of problems in our life. These can be problems in different areas in our lives. It could be our work, our family, our love life, relationship with our friends, career related or something else. Nobody is totally happy and without problems in life. But we have been bestowed with the ability to face these situations and find a solution for these problems on day to day basis. This is how life works after all. We face a problem, we tackle it and then we move forward to the next one waiting for us. Cycle of life as some people like to call it.

This in turn leads to a lot of mental stress for an individual. There are many instances when one might seek help from people close to them. But if even that doesn’t seem to help, then maybe seeing a counselling psychologist might. In today’s world that moves forwar...
