Question By: We all want the best for our kids. If our child breaks his arm, we go right to the hospital, but if the same child is expressing anxiety or seems depressed, many parents aren't sure what to do.
Children deal with school stress, bullying, friend drama, grief, and many transitions throughout childhood. Sometimes children are embarrassed or scared to tell mom or dad that something is wrong, and other times parents are unsure if a problem is fleeting or something more serious.
Kids and teens need therapy when they have problems they can't cope with alone. Or they need help when problems affect how well they do, feel, or act. If things don't get better on their own, kids may need therapy so things can improve. Sometimes, entire families need support while trying to communicate, learn, and create boundaries.
In therapy, kids learn by doing. With younger kids, this means working with the whole family, drawing, playing, and talking. For older kids and teens, therapists share activities and ideas that focus on learning the skills they need. They talk through feelings and solve problems.
