With Child And Adolescent Therapy Rochester MI Youngsters Can Gain Better Perspective

By Laura Robinson


Modern life is complex and lots of people find it very difficult to cope from day to day. Children, especially, are under great pressure. Life is no longer as simple as it used to be. They are under tremendous peer pressure and they live in a materialistic world that focuses on possessions, rather than values. Many children lose their way and develop behavioural problems. Yet, with assistance from a professional specializing in child and adolescent therapy Rochester MI young patients can learn to cope with modern life.

Many adults are blissfully unaware of the pressures experienced by many children. Parents are so busy with their own lives that they no longer spend quality time with their children. They often do not even know what their children do or where they are when not at home. Single parent families have become common and millions of children do not know what a loving, caring and nurturing family life is.

Children are routinely subjected to things there parents never had to endure. Drugs, pornography, alcohol and exposure to people intent on abusing children are all problems that the vast majority of modern children have to deal with every day. They are also placed under great pressure to do well at school and to excel in all the many activities they are forced to attend. Their lives are complicated and often highly regimented.

There has been an alarming rise in the number of children that suffer from psychological disorders and that exhibit serious behavioural aberrations. More children commit suicide than ever before. The number of crimes committed by children has also increased dramatically. If these children do not receive professional help they may be in great danger of becoming troubled adults that do not subscribe to the norms of society.

It is important to be on the lookout for signs that all is not well. Children with serious problems often become anti social. They no longer take part in sport and their results at school deteriorates. They may exhibit aggressive behaviour and they can be vague about their activities when not at home. Too much or too little sleep is also an important warning sign, as is sudden weight loss or gain.

Psychologists agree that it is best to choose a therapist that specialize in helping children and teenagers. Reputable therapists will perform a full assessment, including a thorough medical examination before taking on the patient. Parents will have to accept the fact that the relationship between the child and the therapist will be confidential and that the therapist will not reveal the details of their sessions unless a very serious matter arises.

Parents must accept the fact that therapists cannot guarantee results and that they cannot predict how long the treatment will last. They have to first gain the trust of the patient and only then can treatment proceed. Therapists also cannot solve the problems of their patients. They can simply teach the patient techniques that will help him identify his problems and their causes and to then find solutions.

Children deserve the chance to live happy, well balanced lives. When they are troubled the best course of action is to seek professional help. In some cases, therapists will ask other members of the family to become involved in the process. The problems experienced by children that need psychological treatment seldom develop in isolation.
