There is no greater pain for a parent than a child who is not well, whether physically or emotionally. Worrying about your son or daughter can make every day nearly unbearable. It can be difficult for you, as a parent, to think about much else. Your fears and concerns may have been building for some time and you cannot ignore them any longer. Perhaps there is an intense and immediate event in your child’s life that is extremely concerning and you feel unprepared to cope or help your child recover.
All parents want to feel like we can handle any issue that our child may be facing. We want to have all of the answers. We want to help our children move past any pain and difficulty with ease. Unfortunately, we are not always equipped to do this and sometimes seeking the help of a professional is the best alternative.
