24.01.2022 Parents should stop trying to raise happy children as their centred goal

24.01.2022 Dr. Read said some people are like Barrios. They come in right away when they suspect that anxiety is a problem for their kids. But many families wait until anxiety becomes acute or debilitating. And thats risky. When anxiety goes untreated, it leads to other anxiety disorders or depression or substance use, academic underachievement, employment difficulties and problems later in life," Read said. Addressing problems in childhood prevents a snowball effect, she said.

17.01.2022 Great tips for anxious children

16.01.2022 I mentioned that introverted children, as a result of differences in brain functioning, actually utilize energy differently. They are slow burners, utilizing solitude and quiet to renew their energy stores. Extroverts, by comparison, will burn through energy quickly and seek renewal in the form of social contact. Furthermore, introverted children communicate in ways that are deeper than extroverted counterparts, often asking questions and wanting to know more about less information. Extroverts are the opposite, frequently talking in fast clips and wanting to know a little about a lot of things. All of these differences relate to differences in hardwiring that results in very different ways of interacting with the world.

16.01.2022 Speech pathologists study, diagnose and treat communication disorders, including difficulties with speech, language, fluency and voice. Having the ability to communicate effectively through speech is a huge advantage in life. If you struggle in this area, the team of Speech Pathologists at pyschCentral are from a diversity of cultural backgrounds and experience in working with all ages.

14.01.2022 Psychcentral is offering cognitive assessments conducted by provisional psychologists (supervised by Clinical Psychologists) at discounted rates only for the month of July during the school holiday period to make it easier for parents. Cognitive and intelligence assessments are used to to determine a childs learning capability by identifying their cognitive strengths and weaknesses. We also take down a comprehensive background of the childs history, parent and teacher inte...rviews to interpret the results of the tests that can offer a individual profile of the child in terms of their learning capacity, develop individualised intervention and learning plans for children for both their home and school environments. Cognitive and intelligence tests can help assess intellectual giftedness, and diagnose learning difficulties or disabilities in children. The reports can also be used to make applications for funding bodies where necessary (eg needs for special provisions, disabilities, school examinations, etc). Contact 1300 856 779 or email [email protected] for more information.
