Experimentation with drugs and alcohol, depression and anxiety, sexuality concerns, schoolwork and self-discipline, time management issues and family crises such as divorce or death all affect children differently than adults. Child therapists spend their time assessing the depth of these problems with their patients and working with them to develop coping skills and solutions.

3. Duties Counseling child psychologists take a behavioral approach to emotional problems with children and adolescents. These child therapists focus on helping their patients to develop ways to use their own strengths to cope with issues, and they counsel entire families when necessary. A counseling child psychologist's training is based on the belief that behavior is influenced by numerous factors such as environment, gender, race, sexual orientation, religion and culture, and as such, each child's psychological problems and potential well-being are unique. These professionals work in private practice and also in schools

6. Why do I want this job? I want this job because for many years I have been struggling with behavior problems and have been looking for child behavioral therapist I think I would be a great example for kids with behavioral problems due to the fact that I know how it feels to want to control your anger and behavior and want to get better but not having anyone that really understands how you feel or what your going through.
