Early intervention can significantly enhance a child’s mental and physical well-being, reduce family stress, foster better school success, and help prevent future issues. If you notice concerning changes in your child, such as withdrawal, sadness, anxiety, or a sudden loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed, it might be a sign that they could benefit from professional support. For preschoolers, signs that they might need help managing their impulses and regulating their actions include:
Increased frustration, anxiety, or sadness
Difficulty regulating their emotions
Issues with being excluded from preschool or playdates
Actions that disrupt family life and strain other family members
Addressing these issues early on is crucial because it helps children learn positive habits before they develop longstanding patterns that can create challenges at home and school. Children thrive on having positive relationships with their parents, other adults, and peers. By intervening early, we can support them in building these connections more effectively, leading to greater happiness and success. Parents will be actively involved in the therapy process, and there may be activities for the family to work on together to support their child's progress.
