WHAT IS CHILD PSYCHOLOGY AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHOLOGY?
Children of all ages can develop mental health difficulties. They can occur because of things that may have happened in the past, or because there are stressful events affecting them in the present time. It can be difficult to know where to turn in order to help.
Therapy for Children
Sometimes (depending on the age of the child) these difficulties may manifest as behavioural problems and or failure to thrive in school. Young children, due to their developmental inexperience may not have the words to describe how they feel. Life and their experiences can be confusing for them, as they navigate the complex process of learning to make sense of feelings, and talk about them.
Child psychology and adolescent psychology is the understanding of a child’s physical, emotional and cognitive development and the changes they undergo from birth to 18 years old. Child psychologists aim to make sense of how your child thinks, interacts and responds emotionally to the world around them and helps children who may have difficulties in any of these areas to make adjustments that will support their development.
