Guidance and Counselling of parents and family members
Counselling and Treatment at Skooc
IT IS NOT EASY TO DETERMINE IF YOUR CHILD NEEDS GUIDANCE AND
COUNSELLING. LOOKING FOR CHANGES IN YOUR CHILD IS A GOOD WAY
TO START. SOMETIMES THESE CHANGES MAY BE SUBTLE AND GROW
GRADUALLY OR THEY MIGHT COME IN SUDDENLY. IF THE CHANGE IS
PROMINENT ENOUGH THAT IT STARTS TO AFFECT THE CHILD’S DAILY
LIFE AND ROUTINES, IT IS IMPORTANT TO SEEK COUNSELLING FOR
CHILDREN. BELOW ARE SIX SIGNS THAT MIGHT HELP YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT YOUR CHILD NEEDS COUNSELLING.
If you find your child is starting to argue, complain, get
angry and become defensive, even over the smallest request
or conversation, then pay closer attention. If you see
that they are occurring more frequently and seem to
continue for longer periods of time, then these defiant
behaviours are a call for counselling.
If you find changes in your child’s day to day interests,
hobbies, routines and habits have changed significantly,
this is a sign of your child needing help. Most common
changes are in eating, sleeping and personal interests and
social life and if these changes persist for longer than 2
weeks, reach out for help. Always worrying or being sad If
you find your child is always worried, sad and isolated,
these are clear signs that the child is struggling with
managing their emotions. Worrying and being sad is normal,
especially during growing years. However, if you see these
emotions growing and needing constant intervention from
you, reach out for help.
Regression situations are when a child’s behaviour goes
back by years to when they were younger. These can include
an older child bedwetting, baby talk, tantrums when being
separated from parent/s, uncontrollable temper tantrums.
Regression can happen in situations like the birth of a
new sibling, death in the family or divorce. However, if
it happens for no reason, your child might need help.
If you see that your child withdrawing socially, this is a
sign for you to understand what the child is going through
emotionally. Typically, behaviours will include refusing
to go out to play, not talking to friends after they are
back home, not wanting to play, refusing to come out for
social outings with family. Turning inwards and away from
their friends circle is an indication of a struggle and if
you see this behaviour persisting beyond a few weeks and
is persistent, seek help.
Perhaps the most urgent sign of a child needing help is if
the child is either talking of self-harm or harming
themselves. This can show up as references to
hopelessness, or situations being dismal or the child
might directly refer to thoughts of cutting or hurting
themselves by banging their head against a surface,
hitting themselves, scratching themselves hard enough to
cut skin or starting to have ideas of suicide. If you are
noticing any self-harm behaviours, take note of them and
get help for your child right away.
The sooner you are able to notice the signs, the quicker you
can get the help that your child needs.

What People are Saying about Skooc
Bala Shivakumar

When we came to Skooc we had a 17 year old who was so depressed that he had
lost 15 kilos, was not eating, not sleeping and did not talk to us. His condition was
so bad that even medicines were not helping. When we started therapy at Skooc,
we were so happy that it was on video because he would not even step out of his
room. It was a slow process, but our child has improved. Rachit is now recovering
under the guidance of Ms. Rowena and we are very much relieved and happy.
Thank you to Skooc and your excellent counsellors.

Siya was diagnosed with ADHD when she was only 8. At 14 we saw so many
problems coming up that we felt she can never even finish school. But working
with Sarah we saw how to manage the disorder and make her do better at her
social life, sports and studies. For a child who could not at all focus, she is now
able to sit for 30-35 minutes and able to plan and do her work.

Hi Devi, Thank you very much for helping Kiara with her depression. We were all so
upset ad scared about what she is going through and what had happened to our
usually happy 15 year old. Ankita is a wonderful therapist and she has made a big
difference in her life. I will always be grateful for your help.
