Child & Family Counseling
We all have dreams of how family life could be but the reality
often fails to live up to these hopes and longings. Bringing up children can be
enriching, rewarding and great fun, but it can also be exhausting, baffling and
anxiety provoking.
At one time or another most parents will be worried about some aspect of family life. Those who sail through the early years, coping with the exhausting demands of babies and small children, may find their teenagers bring them down with a crash. Others may find the early months and years a nightmare of doubt and worry and then thoroughly enjoy their children when they become more independent. There is little help available to prepare for the life-long job of being a parent. The one thing that we all will have had is the experience of having been a child and this will have a profound effect on our own attitudes to becoming parents. If parents had a happy childhood they may wish to recreate this for their children. If, for whatever reason, parents were unhappy in their original families they may have strong views about how they do not want it to be in their family. This can lead to difficulties, for as one parent said, ‘It is all very well saying I don’t want to be like my own mother, but then how shall I be?’ she felt she was floundering.
Deciding whether a problem is worth worrying about can be part of the problem. Some parents tolerate behavior in their children which would send other parents straight up the wall! The concepts of ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ are impossible to apply to the ups and downs of children’s emotional development and to family life in general. Moreover, children’s emotional development is never smooth – there are so many influences on a child from within and without, and all need to be taken into account of in understanding why problems emerge along the way.
It may be helpful to list some of the sorts of symptoms of upset that bring families for help. It cannot be a complete list, because there are as many worries as there are children,
but here are just some of the signs of emotional distress.
- Sleep disturbances
- Excessive crying
- Eating problems
- Shyness
- Aggressive behavior
- Temper tantrums
- Separation anxiety
- Fears
- Bullying, or being
bullied
- Wetting
- Soiling
- Depression
- Suicidal thoughts
- Stealing
- School refusal
- Anxiety
- Delinquency
- Psychosomatic
illness
- Hyperactivity
- Study problems
- Inability to
concentrate
- Others
It is important to stress that any of these behaviors can occur at
particularly difficult or upsetting times in the life of a child or its family.
When things go wrong in a family and a child is emotionally or behaviorally disturbed, the parent’s confidence in their ability to help that child can dwindle away. At such times parents often feel guilty as well as worried. It can be difficult to admit these feelings to close family and friends, however kind and supportive they may be. It is time to get external support and help.
