As in all developmental periods, there are some physiological, psychological, emotional and behavioral characteristics in childhood and adolescence. As humans, we continue to live and change in our daily lives. During this change, we may occasionally encounter problems that become stuck and cannot be resolved. There may be times when adults cannot make sense of the world of children and adolescents. Due to the anxiety experienced by parents, some problems may be perceived as unsolvable. At this point, it may be necessary to apply for a psychological counseling service for parents and children in order to gain a professional perspective on the situations by sharing the parents' experiences.
So, in what cases should psychological counseling be sought?
Nowadays, you can consult a psychological counselor for both daily events and unexpected attitudes and behaviors. Below are examples of these:
∙ Accepting and caring for the baby that will join the family during pregnancy, ∙ Development and psychology of infancy, childhood and adolescence from birth, ∙ Choosing the right toy,
