Children face many obstacles as they grow up such as stress, grief, self-esteem issues and bullying. During these times, they experience thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to sort through. Children may act out, regress or completely avoid all feelings. It may be challenging to determine when your child can work through these issues independently and when they need a helping hand from a professional.
Warning signs that your child may be in need of professional help:
• Social skill deficits
• Sleep and eating difficulties
• Self-esteem issues
• Performance issues in school
• Self-destructive behaviors
• Attention issues and disorganization
• Anxiety and irrational fears
• Depression and feelings of hopelessness
• Emotional outbursts
• Mood swings
