Therapy with adults is by no means a straightforward enterprise, and therapy with children is even more multi-dimensional. Often, it includes talking, role-playing, doing art projects, singing, dancing, or simply sitting quietly and being present while the child is grappling with a difficult issue. All of that does not sound too scientific, does it?
Well, that’s because child therapy is not science by nature, but rather art. Even psychologists and educators who work in one of many strict paradigms will tell you that, without frequent departures from working by a manual, no progress is possible with children. Therefore, when looking for a therapist to treat your child, search for the one who does not have all the answers ready for you from the start. We, the experts, love to feel all-important, but that is never what child therapy is about.
You have to look for a therapist who is willing to explore together with you and your child all possible routes of development, while keeping in mind that the ultimate destination of this journey is not a specific achievement, but a better adjusted and happier child and a more content family.
