Childhood is a period of rapid development and intense change. Young people are confronted with a bewildering array of physical, emotional and psychological developmental changes – growing up is a tricky business! For some kids, this can be relatively smooth, while some can encounter challenges that seem overwhelming.
The common bond that links all children is their need for love and nurturing as they develop, learn and grow. Yet even when parents and carers provide a nurturing home environment, sometimes children still need extra support.
Promoting respectful and workable relationships is an integral part of counselling. Here, the children are met at their developmental level, implementing effective strategies to help them cope with the challenges of growing up and finding their place within their family, their social circles, and society at large. Soulful Sojourn works with children and their families to facilitate understanding of the unique issues they bring to counselling. Setting achievable goals – encouraging safe behaviours and respectful relationships.
