In the past two months there have been over 30 schools that have been burnt . This high rate of arson has brought great concern to parents , teachers and the country at large, asking the government to intervene. As parents and a society we also need to do something to help our children make better decisions in hard situations.
Professional counseling therapy is one of the way we can do this. These are the reasons and benefits:
1)Aids social and emotional intelligence which help in interpreting and expressing emotions correctly.
2)Helps in improving self-esteem and self-worth- some of the behavior teenagers have is a call for attention, counseling can help identify and deal with that deep rooted desire.
3)Accountability-it is alternative way to keep teenagers accountable. Rather than feeling victimized for their behaviours, a counsellor will give them the space to explore why this is happening, and how to move forward.
4)training in the art to delayed gratification where one can control the ego and able to see the bigger picture of things.
5)Puberty is like a glowing light that attracts every single feeling, emotion, experience and temptation into your child’s life. Your young person needs support in this time. Depression and anxiety are often seen in young adults, and self-medicating practices or self-injury are all too common. Wherever your teen is at, seeing a counsellor can help them care for their mental health
