Almost at all schools psychologists work now. It is quite natural that pupils begin to ask them the questions. But most of parents react to it not absolutely adequately. If you have no own experience of the address to the psychologist, it will be useful for you to learn how it is correct to behave in case of the address of your child to the psychologist.
If at school the regular psychologist works, then it is very possible that some pupils address him. It occurs far not at once as the school psychologist begins to work. In order that children came to him to consultation, it is necessary that they well knew it. When children often see the psychologist, communicate with him, trust him, can very possibly come also with some question. Often at first children look groups in the psychologist's office, then run just to communicate or have a rest on change. And later on one can come with the problem.
Not all parents have experience of the address to the psychologist therefore do not know how to react in such situation. Anything there is no scary address of your child in the fact to the psychologist.
Teenagers come to consultation more often. Teenage age - immersion time in. Children try to understand the inner world, learn what is love and friendship. It is sometimes easier to tell about such subjects to foreign person. Therefore do not panic and you do not press on your child.
Try quietly better and in a friendly manner to communicate to the child. If your relations are far from friendly, then hardly he will tell everything to you at once. Have patience. The sincerity can achieve, only at warm relationship. Also consider that teenagers move away from parents. For them it is natural not to tell about something. It is a normal stage of separation from parents. The teenager has a private life and the intimate experiences.
It is not necessary to run at once to the psychologist to learn what there was a speech on consultation about. If your child himself did not agree to disclosure, then the psychologist will only confirm you the fact of the address to him. It is similar to medical secrecy. Though this rule not iron not all psychologists also observe it. But if you obtain information from the school psychologist, then consider: your child can apprehend it as treachery and penetrations into the private life. Therefore receive consent to communication with the psychologist from the child better and only then follow to it recommendations.
You trust the child, allow him to cope with the arisen difficulties. Let it know that you are always open for a conversation. If your child needs your help or council, then he will address you.
