The pandemic has been hard on everyone, including kids -- so how do parents know when problems will work themselves out on their own, or when they need to consult a therapist for their child?
What’s happening: At this stage of life, kids may be interested in romantic relationships, may show more independence from the family, and have a deeper capacity for caring, but may also feel a great deal of sadness or depression.
“For example, if your child has always been quiet and serious and, all of a sudden, he is going out all the time or staying out until late hours, pay attention,” Dowd says. “Keep in mind that as kids get older, they can sometimes be more difficult to engage in therapy,” she says. “They’ll get crafty about hiding their behavior, so it’s very important to do your best to foster open conversations with your kids.”
