Cognitive behavioral therapy is a good approach for children, as it involves reducing anxiety and learning new ideas and new ways to channel the child’s feelings and energy. It is beneficial because it will help him or her identify their inner thoughts and replace the negative ones with more positive, helpful ones. Good therapy will be present and forward-oriented and will likely utilize modalities such as talking, playing, or other activities to help the child express feelings and thoughts.
Child therapy sessions will focus on teaching the following tools:
The client is making meaningful progress in child therapy when the child is actively participating in sessions, maintaining the gains made during therapy, and there is a noticeable change in the child's behavior and mood outside of sessions at home, school, etc.
Clients can supplement their time in child therapy with worksheets, games, and intentional participation in activities to promote ways to implement tools and strategies that were taught during the sessions.
To prepare a child for the first therapy session, the parent/guardian should set aside time to have a conversation. Briefly, in a couple of sentences, talk about the challenges. Stick with the facts, including what you’ve tried so far to help and how it’s worked out. Let them know that you have decided to ask for more help and you’ve made an appointment for counseling. Tell them when it is, the counselor’s name, and what they’ll do there. Ask if they have any questions, thoughts, or feelings about the appointment. Explore their beliefs about counseling.
