Do the Mental Problems of Children and Adolescents Affect the Family?
When children and adolescents have problems with their developmental characteristics or psychological reasons, their family, school and social relationships are negatively affected. Coping with these problems becomes difficult for the child and the family. The situations caused by these problems affect parents and other siblings. Families may feel helpless, exhausted, and experience intense conflicts with their children. These developmental and psychological problems can turn into a tangle of family conflict and relationship problems. Informing the family about these problems, providing guidance on appropriate approaches, and solving the psychological problem will also solve the problem of the family’s relationship with the child and the child with the family.
When is Child Psychiatry Support Required as Children Grow?
Children show different characteristics in different developmental periods, starting from the time they are born. During these periods, they acquire certain abilities and skills. When parents know the child’s characteristics in these periods and act accordingly, the child’s spiritual development continues in a healthy way. However, without appropriate support and approaches, problems may arise in spiritual development. These problems:
