Mental states in children and adolescents
How to recognize symptoms of emotional difficulties, understand aggression, and collaborate with a demanding parent
Anger, rebellion, withdrawal, provocation – these are not always "bad behavior." Behind aggression or withdrawal often lie emotions that a child or teenager cannot cope with. What if, instead of support, we encounter resistance from the parent? How to act effectively without judging?
This course is a compendium of psychological knowledge and tools for working with children and adolescents experiencing emotional difficulties – as well as with adults who do not always cooperate.
🔹 Mental states of children and adolescents – how to recognize and understand them:
symptoms of anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, and emotional regulation issues,
aggression as a message – what children are trying to communicate through "bad behavior,"
how a child's psyche changes at different developmental stages.
🔹 Difficult child or child in crisis?
differences between behavioral disorders, ADHD, and emotional overload,
when it is advisable to refer a child to a specialist and when environmental support is sufficient.
🔹 Difficult parent – how to build cooperation despite resistance:
parent in crisis, burned out, with anxiety or helplessness,
how to communicate without conflict – techniques of dialogue, boundaries, and empathy,

how to support the child without conflicting with the family,
building relationships based on trust and understanding.
