The therapist can help the child to increase self-esteem and learn skills to navigate difficult decisions in life's great maze. Sometimes the therapist also helps the child overcome fears or worries, be they past, present or future.
As youngsters grow and seek autonomy, they naturally also seek distance from parents. Child/adolescent therapy can help young people to better meet life's challenges. |
