Common Statements
If these sound familiar,
it’s time to talk.
 | Early Childhood Years:
Parent:
“OMG, I am pregnant! It's not planned and I don't know I feel about it. I need to talk to someone, but I don't want anyone to know until I have figured this out for myself.” “My child’s temper tantrums really upset me and I don’t seem to be able to manage her behavior”
|
| Teacher / Carer:
“I suspect a child has a learning difficulty and think a formal assessment would really assist this child in getting the right support.” “I would like some strategies to deal with disruptive behaviour” |
|
| School Years:
Parent:
“My children fight constantly! I have heard about sibling rivalry but this is ridiculous” “My child was recently excluded from a party. She has become withdrawn. How can I help her manage her friendships?” |
|
| Teacher / Carer:
“One of my students seems very timid. I have tried boosting her self-esteem, but wonder if she would benefit from individual counselling?”
“I would like to refer a child who has attended our Anti-bullying program but there has been no change in behavior.” |
|
| Adolescent Years: Parent:
“My child doesn’t talk to me, but I know something is wrong. Maybe if she spoke to a professional….” “My child seems to be so anxious at exams that I fear it affects her performance” “My child just doesn’t seem to know or be interested in his future” |
|
| Teacher / Carer:
“One of my students has come to me with a problem and I don’t feel qualified to help, so I would like to refer him to counselling.” “We would like to supplement our current support strategies and include a stress management program for our year 10’s” |
|
|
| Life Events (across the ages): Parent:
“No-one told me parenting would be this hard. I hate the depressed, angry, stressed, anxious person I have become. I need help!" “My son has recently been diagnosed with Aspergers' Syndrome. I recognise many of his traits in myself and need to talk to someone about how to manage my mental health as well as his." |
|
|
| Teacher / Carer:
I would like to refer a child who has had a sudden and unexplained change in demeanor in the classroom. |
