As children and adolescents grow, they go through many stages to develop the social skills and emotional maturity needed to lead healthy and happy lives. The difficulties, responsibilities, struggles and moods that accompany growing up and maturing may be fairly easy for some children to deal with, but others struggle with some of these changes.
Sometimes it can be difficult for parents and caregivers to recognize whether a change is caused by the normal challenges in child development or if certain signs and symptoms represent something that is significantly interfering with their child’s happiness and functioning in the family, at school or with their social network. Many children are unable to communicate what they are feeling—or won’t talk to an adult about their problems. It can be disheartening for parents and caregivers to feel something is wrong but not know how to help, watching their children suffer through the many thoughts, feelings and emotions they are going through.
Whether you, a teacher or your child feels it is time to talk with a therapist or a counselor about an issue or concern, choose Thriveworks in Johnson City, TN Child and Adolescent Therapy/Counseling.
