About
Do you believe your child may be suffering from developmental or psychiatric disorders such as autism, Asperger’s Syndrome or ADHD? Many parents are often baffled by their child’s behavior, and they wonder if their child is developing normally or if their child’s behavior is a sign or symptom of deeper developmental issues.
Taking your child to a child development psychologist is an excellent idea for any parent who wonders if their child is experiencing normal mental development. These trained clinical child psychologist professionals are aware of both the normal course of child development as well as the ways that developmental and psychiatric disorders manifest themselves; these well-educated individuals are capable of determining root causes of problems your child may be experiencing.
A child development psychologist can help parents understand what their child is going through; in addition, they can also explain to parents what they should expect from their child in the future and how to best help the child live a normal life. Some psychiatric disorders can be treated with medication; in these cases, the psychologist will discuss medication choices and treatment plans with parents.
Most importantly, a clinical child psychologist should be able to have a dialogue with both the parents and the child in order to explain the disorder that the child is suffering from; many times, the anxiety caused by being different from one’s peers is more damaging to the child than the disorder itself. Child psychologists can point parents to resources and support groups that can help every individual of the family cope with a developmental disorder diagnosis.

It’s not an uncommon situation for parents to find themselves with no idea what to do about their children’s psychological issues; whether their children are misbehaving, acting out, depressed or even seem suicidal, parents often do not know what the best route to take with their children is. An expertly trained clinical child psychologist who has a warm and open demeanor and who is great with children offers the best chance of a positive outcome for your child’s mental health. The best child psychologist is one who is both professionally trained and who can bond with children; many times, children are unsure of what to expect in a clinical setting when they go to meet with a psychologist for the first time. After being told not to talk to strangers, they are suddenly thrust into a position where a stranger wants to know everything about their lives and how they are feeling. The ability to develop trust and rapport with children is an important part of being a clinical children’s psychologist; when searching for a children’s psychologist, you should find one that both you and your children can trust. In addition, a warm demeanor and gentle personality are key attributes of effective children’s psychologists. Psychologists who specialize in treating children should be adequately trained and educated for the position. Most often, expert clinical children’s psychologists will hold a PhD or MS in Child Psychology. The rigorous education child psychologists receive informs them about the various developmental stages children go through, as well as the best practices in spotting personality disorders or other complications such as ADHD in children. The best child psychologist is informed about how to spot any issues children may suffer from, and is capable of having an open and honest conversation with both the parents and the child about treatment options.
