Having a conversation with your child about starting therapy can feel tricky. Parents often feel a lot of pressure to get it just right, especially if it’s their child’s first time in therapy or they’re not sure how their child will respond to the idea. There’s no one right way to talk about starting therapy with your child. What’s most important is to introduce the idea in a way that feels safe and supportive, not like they’re in trouble or that something is wrong with them.
