Problem Child

It’s important that we don’t look at all problems that children have as being identical or even similar. First of all there are the somatogenic issues (beginning in the body) and then there are the psychogenic issues (beginning in the mind). Many times, these differences, which are not very easily diagnosed by professionals, are morphed together into one idea. They have to be treated as separate problems. For a listing of the divisions in psychogenic problems, please see “Four Mistaken Goals of Children's Misbehaviour ”.

If you as a parent would like to explore the issue of whether the problems are physical or mental/emotional and secondly what you can do about the mental/emotional problems, please call us in Toronto at 416-968-0640, outside Toronto and in the U.S. at 1-888-966-6606 and in Europe at 001-416-968-0640.
