Episode 36: Advice for children and young people

Performance requirements, constant comparison in social media and the consequences of social crises are already leaving their mark on young people: more and more children and young people today are under psychological pressure: many feel overwhelmed, withdraw - or send a silent cry for help through conspicuous behavior.

In our new podcast, Susanna Meyer, systemic consultant at pme Familienservice, talks about her work with children and young people who take action themselves - and seek support. This is because children and young people are increasingly coming forward on their own initiative.  

  • Why it is important that children and young people are allowed to go to counseling themselves
  • Which questions really help children and young people
  • Why symptoms such as outbursts of anger or withdrawal are often an expression of inner distress
  • How parents can better understand their child's signals and have the right conversations
  • What parents can do without overburdening them - but accompanying them at eye level

 

Susanna Meyer gives practical tips: How do we even start a conversation? What words provide support - and when is listening more important than any solution? 

At pme Familienservice , we offer children and young people a protected space in which they can open up and feel understood - and learn how to deal better with fears, self-doubt and pressure. Without pathologizing them, but with a great deal of empathy and professional tools.
