Teenage counseling and psychotherapy

Recent psychological research has unveiled several insights into child development:

• Mental Health and Wellbeing: A study in Australia reveals that 36.9% of children are seeking professional mental health support. Child psychologist Clare Rowe suggests that excessive focus on mental health may lead children to misinterpret normal emotional struggles as disorders. She advocates for teaching resilience and personal agency over over-pathologizing childhood, warning that current practices could lead to a generation ill-equipped to handle life's challenges.

• Impact of Screen Time on Vision: Research published in JAMA Network Open indicates that increased screen time is associated with a higher risk of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. A daily increment of one hour spent on digital screens increases the risk by 21%. Experts suggest mitigating the risk by limiting screen time, promoting outdoor activities, and ensuring regular eye check-ups for children.

• ADHD and Emotional Regulation: A study from the University of Edinburgh suggests that preschool children who struggle with regulating their emotions may show more symptoms of ADHD by age seven. The research highlights the importance of early monitoring and targeted support to potentially mitigate future mental health issues.

• Child-to-Parent Abuse: There is an alarming rise in child-to-parent abuse (Capva), encompassing physical and emotional violence. Despite increased awareness, there remain gaps in support systems, and professionals often fail to understand the severity or complexity of Capva. Organizations like Respect, Pegs, and Capa First Response offer specialized support, but long-term solutions require greater awareness, compassionate conversations, and more extensive resources.

• Discussing Drug Use with Children: Professor Owen Bowden-Jones emphasizes the importance of parents educating themselves about the drug landscape their teenagers face. He advises against turning conversations into lectures and encourages creating an environment where children feel heard. His latest book, "How to Talk to Your Child About Drugs, " provides guidance on what to say, what signs to look for, and highlights current trends in drug use.

These findings underscore the importance of balanced approaches in parenting, education, and healthcare to foster healthy development in children.
