The stigma around mental health in our world is steadily going away. People know that mental health resources are available and that it is okay to ask for them. It’s even becoming more widely understood that the sooner a person gets help, the more likely they are to overcome their struggle. This is even more true for children. If your child is exhibiting any of the following signs, they could likely use the help of an NDIS certified psychologist.
Emotional Dysregulation
Children are actively learning to manage and name their emotions. If your child seems to struggle with their emotions more often than not, or their outbursts and frustrations get in the way of regular life at home, at school, or with friends, then they might benefit from working with a psychologist.
Trouble Building and Maintaining Relationships
Children’s early years are formative in creating their ability to form relationships. If your child experienced trauma in their early years and shows difficulty attaching to their caregivers, respecting authority, or maintaining positive relationships with family members or peers, then a psychologist could help assess and address these foundational needs.
Separation Anxiety or Anxious Tendencies
The realities and pressures of today’s world have been shown to increase anxious tendencies in children as well as in adults. If your child is struggling with anxiety around schoolwork, daily responsibilities, peer interactions, or being apart from their home/parents, then getting help early on could prevent it from getting worse as they grow.
Below Average Cognitive Abilities
Children who are not progressing along normal levels could be struggling cognitively for underlying reasons that need to be addressed. Working with a psychology professional could help identify the reasons that your child is struggling and be the first step in a plan for success.
Poor Self-Esteem
Social media, television, and the entertainment industry are not doing our children any favours. Poor self-esteem can also be a sign of struggles at home and relationships with adults or peers that are not positive. A psychologist can help your child work through these issues.
Getting the Help Your Child Needs
Psychology is brimming with resources to help your child manage their emotions and live a successful, positive life. NDIS is a valued resource that provides care for those in need.
