Why There Is a Need for Child Counseling and Adolescent Counseling
Modern lifestyle is quite fast paced and different compared to
what it used to be a decade or earlier. Children face many challenges in
daily life activities. Sometimes the environment at home and outside is
so different that they feel the pressure and stress within which they
are unable to understand and work upon. Effect of the same can be
reflected in their behavior in the form of irritation, agitation, anger
and isolation. To top this, parents instead of understanding the
pressure these children are undergoing, they put their own expectations
though unconsciously on them. Thus during these growing years when the
young minds are forming impressions and opinions about various things,
it is necessary that we need to understand them and then guide them
accordingly.
Counselling helps to work upon their emotions, it deals with their confusion and most important it helps children unburden themselves by dealing with issues which are of concern to them though it might be quite trivial to others. It is very important for parents to work and prevent these stressors and to form a long and lasting relationship with their children.
The focus of counseling is mainly on the following:-
Self Expression:
Counselling helps children and adolescents to unburden themselves completely by talking about their desires, needs, anxiety, expectation, opinions, feelings etc. It provides them with an environment where children and adolescents understand themselves and explore their world. In this environment of love, support and care, children and adolescents feel free to express themselves without any hesitation.
Identifying roots of behavior:
The focus of these counseling sessions is to identify the roots of the problem. Many a times it has been seen that the root lies in unrealistic expectation and confusion which often results in agitation, frustration and dissatisfaction on the part of the child. These children are not always equipped to understand or deal with their own problems which are often manifested in the form of anxiety, distraction, irritation or depression. Parents sometimes complicate the issue rather than dealing with the situation. Recognizing the child's underlying needs is the main task of counseling and thus counseling helps in dealing with behavioural issues.
Parents are counseled to be positive and build a positive connection with the child. They are guided to focus and highlight the child's strength and to help him develop the same. Counseling also help parents understand the role played by them in shaping and grooming the child.
