Parents and teachers often notice if a child is having trouble with thinking, emotions, or behaviour. Signs can include problems in school, learning challenges, behavioural issues, or emotional struggles like anxiety and mood swings. Additionally, developmental issues with speech, motor skills, or social interactions may be apparent. Caregivers might also observe attention and focus problems, such as those related to ADHD or Autism, along with significant changes in behaviour or mood.

Parents and teachers often notice if a child is having trouble with thinking, emotions, or behaviour.

If these signs are present, a psychological assessment can be very helpful. It evaluates a child's strengths and weaknesses, providing a thorough understanding of their overall mental health. It also serves to guide tailored interventions and support, promoting a more effective approach to meet the child's unique needs.

Early recognition and intervention through assessments can positively impact a child's well-being and development.

If you are concerned, consider consulting with professionals such as paediatricians, psychiatrists or psychologists, who can provide guidance.
