As children grow, it is common for them to experience occasional problems as they grow and mature. They may experience conflicts at home over issues such as toilet training, bedtime and homework, or they may have difficulty in school. Occasionally, you may even observe your child display emotional outbursts or tantrums. Psychotherapy for children may be warranted when a child’s emotional or behavioral problems seem outside the norm for their age group, or when difficulties interfere with normal family or educational functioning.
