How do I talk to my child/teenager about coming to counseling?

​Being open and honest about plans to seek help from a counselor is important. Here are some tips for starting the discussion about counseling.
·         Acknowledge that there have been some recent challenges and ask the child/teen how they see the situation.
·         Ask him/her what they think could help improve the situation.
·         Ask them how they feel emotionally about going to counseling.
·         Express how you understand why they would feel that way and express your hope that counseling can improve the current situation.
·         Ask them what their fears/concerns are about counseling.
·         Encourage them to discuss these fears/concerns with the counselor.
·         Assure them that Candace is sensitive to the unique needs of children/teens and works to make counseling fun and interactive while addressing therapeutic needs. It’s not just sitting around talking about feelings -but there will be some of that too. :)
