Hi. I am a psychological counselor that often works with childrenand teenagers. After my first job out of uni, working as a school psychologist, I decided that whenever I would do counseling, I would add some extra time devoted to psychoeducation.
Most of my sessions follow a pattern of 1 hour with the child and 30 minutes with the parents. I spend a lot of tome teaching parents about human development in terms of habit formation, attachement, mindfulness and many other topics (sexuality and sexual education, building rapport with children on the autistic spectrum etc).
What do you think of this approach (specifically holding a mini session after working with the child), and what would you recommend as a must-learn for every parent?
