Childhood: During childhood, children are very sensitive. They must be listened to and treated very carefully especially during the development of forming impressions and schemas of how the world is. Today, children face several stresses in the forms of school, family issues, peer pressure, adjustment issues, learning difficulties etc. We must remember that they are not young adults. They may not yet have the vocabulary adequately to describe their experiences or they may be too upset or hesitant to do so. It is very important to address these stresses in order to prevent the formation of long lasting emotional and behavioral difficulties. Child counselling provides your little ones with an environment where they can explore and express their difficulties, understand and overcome them.
There is a difference, between occasionally getting angry and having anger issues. Are you easily irritated or frustrated, and find yourself feeling angry more often than you probably should? If so, then you are like millions of people who deal with anger issues and for those whose anger goes beyond the occasional, there are some very clear signs that you have anger issues such as-
Can't take criticism: People with an anger problem are ones who cannot listen to constructive criticism. They are quick to get defensive and fire back at the person trying to help them.
Always have to win an argument: People who are unable to control their anger have to have the last word, they won't back down, they feel impatient, irritated, and hostile. The argument is less about the actual source of the conflict and more about dominating the argument.
Very short fuse: Angry people have a very short emotional shelf-life, their patience is very thin and will often explode at the drop of a hat by shouting and yelling with an inability to control their anger arguing with others often and getting angrier in the process.
Holds grudges: Hanging onto resentment and bitterness with no tolerance for forgiving. If you can't forgive someone and you constantly bring up the offense to tear others down.
Others say you have an anger problem: Most people get angry, but not all people are told they have an anger problem. If people close to you (friends, family, spouse, children) comment that you have an anger problem, then they may have a point.
As a parent, we want to do what is best for our child, but you may not know what to do or may be using ineffective or unhealthy parenting skills without even knowing it. The good news is that something can be done to help both you and your child overcome problems and gain relief. To be able to talk to someone other than a parent can sometimes be very helpful to children.
We focus on:
Expression of feelings
Learning to express one’s feelings in a healthy way is an important aspect of growing up. We help children in expressing their needs, worries and anxieties relating to people around them.
Identifying the source of behavior
Many times, children are not equipped with enough resources to deal with stress. Emotional pile ups can take the form of behavioral problems. Identifying the source of the problem behavior and understanding their emotional needs helps in remedying behavioral difficulties.
Enhancing behavior
Modifying the behavior patterns, enhancing self-esteem and learning social skills helps the child to deal better with his environment. Periodic sessions with parents help them gain more perspective about the child and improve their interaction to strengthen the bond with the child.
By the end of the sessions the parents will be better equipped to deal with their own negative emotions and thoughts. Use more effective behavior, communication styles and techniques toward their children to help them grow and develop in a more fulfilling manner.
