Instruction
1. A gossip hotline – a fine source of recommendations. If someone from your acquaintances addressed the psychologist and was satisfied with result, it makes sense to learn the phone number of this expert. Having contacted the psychologist, describe the problem that he could tell at once whether it it is a profile. The more your problem resembles that which your friends handled, the chance is higher that the expert will manage to help also your child.
2. If the gossip hotline did not work, look narrowly at comments on children's psychologists on the Internet. At city forums it is possible to find subjects where mothers and fathers share the opinions on experts which they addressed. You should not turn away from the psychologist at once, having found about him one-two negative reviews. Even the most qualified professional cannot help one and all.
3. Many psychologists not only give individual consultations. They hold seminars, group trainings, both for children, and for parents. Try to visit alone or with the child one of such classes. If the expert pleases also you, and to your child, specify after the end of a seminar whether he holds individual consultations and how many will cost its services. Most likely, if its schedule is not crowded, he will have no objection to get one more client.
4. Being engaged in search on the Internet, try not just to read bulletin boards, and hammer into search engine your inquiry "the child does not want to study" or "the child shows aggression". On search results you will find people who work with your problem. If the reference has on the website or the blog by the psychologist, read materials which he publishes, and solve whether his techniques are acceptable for you and whether the expert as the person is pleasant. You should not lower hands if the pleasant psychologist lives in other city – perhaps, he will agree to work with your child via Skype.
5. Online consultations – one more good opportunity to estimate skill of the psychologist. You can describe on the website rendering similar services, your problem or to read answers of experts to questions of other users. Choose psychologists whose messages were pleasant to you, and write them e-mails. Describe your problem, specify their working conditions and cost of their work. In such a way you will be able to choose the person who will manage to help your child.
