When does a child need help from a psychologist?
In most cases, parents are embarrassed to contact a psychologist when they notice problems with their children. Excuses are used to reassure ourselves - “it’s all age related” or “the child has such a character.” However, if the problem is not addressed, it is unlikely to go away on its own. This is why you should make an appointment with a child psychologist - he will help you understand the problem and correct the child’s behavior as gently as possible. The sooner parents seek help from a doctor, the better it will be for the little patient.
So in what cases is it necessary to consult a child psychologist? You should make an appointment with a doctor if your child has:
- disorders of psychological development, speech;
- anxiety, panic attacks;
- depressive thoughts and states;
- neurotic reactions;
- documented eating disorders (obesity, anorexia nervosa or bulimia);
- diseases of a psychosomatic nature: neurodermatitis, gastrointestinal problems, neurogenic bladder, other psychogenic pain with different localization;
- psychological and behavioral deviations associated with sexual development and orientation.
Conscious parents also visit a child psychologist to determine the child’s readiness to attend school or kindergarten. However, during diagnosis, a number of other problems often emerge that parents did not pay attention to. Many families, in the process of visiting a psychologist, were able to help their child solve problems of decreased motivation to study, correct aggressive behavior, and get rid of anxiety and nightmares.
Another popular reason for turning to a child psychologist in your city (Moscow or any other) is increased physical activity or, on the contrary, isolation and unsociability, difficulties with adaptation in a team.

How are individual psychologist sessions with children conducted?
The first stage of working with a child is diagnosis. It is carried out in a game mode - with the help of special tests, games and drawings, the doctor compiles a psychological profile of the child, identifies developmental features, obvious and hidden psychological deviations. After diagnosis and identification of deficiencies, a treatment program is drawn up. At this stage, work is also carried out with adults: often, in order to eliminate a child’s problem, mom and dad and grandparents must change their behavior.
The price of individual sessions with a psychologist will not seem high if you know what the child will receive as a result: healthy self-esteem, self-confidence, the ability to overcome fears and boldly move through life. A person’s psychological attitude is always formed in childhood - therefore it is very important that at this age the child resolves the main psychological conflicts and is able to fully develop further. The right psychological attitude will help a young man in the future not to succumb to despondency and despair, not to lose heart when problems arise, and to easily create connections with other people.
It is very important to contact a psychologist as early as possible, before problems sprout like weeds and turn into complexes. Make an appointment at the Center for Neurology and Pediatrics, and our specialists will do everything to ensure that your child has a healthy psyche!
What deviations can individual lessons help correct?
Classes with a child psychologist help get rid of the following problems:
- Emotional and behavioral deviations: unmotivated mood swings, aggressiveness, anxiety, increased activity, isolation, hysteria, tearfulness, low self-esteem, misunderstanding of parents or other close relatives.
- Deviations in the field of learning: negative attitude towards learning, unsuccessful adaptation in a group of peers, problems in communicating with others or teachers.
- Insomnia or sleep disorders: anxiety, inability to fall asleep alone, frequent nightmares.
- Consequences of psychological trauma: psychosomatic disorders, severe reaction to parental divorce, death of a loved one or beloved pet.
- Physical symptoms of nervous disorders: incontinence, tics, stuttering.
It is worth noting that the recommendations of the teaching staff of a school or kindergarten are not a reason to attend classes with a psychologist for children. It is important for young parents to understand this.
