Does seeking out counseling for my child mean that I’m a bad parent?

December 27, 2018 by

Children have emotional and behavioral difficulties for a variety of reasons, sometimes related to parenting deficits, but often related to personality characteristics and life experiences. Society is quick to judge parents for everything that their child says and does, which may make you wary of asking for help for your child’s behaviors.

Seeking out counseling for your child does not mean that you’ve failed as a parent, or that you’ve caused your child to have these behaviors in some way.

But, while your child’s behaviors are not your fault, there are still plenty of things that you can do as their parent to help support and guide them through those emotional and behavioral difficulties, which is why counseling will include a parenting component to help you to help your child to achieve their emotional and behavioral goals.
