A lot of problems among children stem from issues in their relationships within the family. For instance, behavioral problems could be a sign that they need attention when parents are just too busy or preoccupied with other things to give them time. Some anger issues are also rooted in what they experience and see at home; this is also true among bullies in school. Most of them are also victims themselves that use bullying as a way to be in control. Whichever the reason for their behavioral problems are, family therapy can help strengthen a family’s bond and help parents handle their children’s behavior in a healthy way.
Child counseling, as the name suggests, involves psychological interventions to treat a child’s emotional or behavioral problems. It focuses on children and teens with more than one mental illness. Children may show varied symptoms, according to their respective experiences.

- Family history of mental illness
- Eating disorder
- Self-harming
- Trauma
