Some parents come to MindCareCenter overwhelmed with concern, not understanding why their child has become withdrawn, anxious or reluctant to go to school. Dr. Daniel Reinhardt explains – when behavioral changes happen suddenly and are accompanied by fear of interaction with peers, it is important not to wait but to respond. Bullying often develops discreetly, and the task of adults is to recognize the early signs before the situation turns into psychological trauma.
Parents who contact MindCareCenter often notice that their child starts avoiding conversations about school, refuses to participate in group activities or reacts strongly to criticism. We begin the therapeutic process through gentle dialogue – helping the child feel safe and gradually open up about what is happening among classmates. Our psychologists emphasize that feelings of shame or fear of telling an adult are common reactions, which is why it is essential to create an environment where the child can speak freely.
During therapy sessions, specialists at MindCareCenter focus on restoring self-esteem, teaching the child healthy ways to respond to aggression and helping them develop clear personal boundaries. We also work with parents – guiding them on how to support their child without reinforcing helplessness and how to communicate effectively with the school. This approach reduces anxiety and helps regain a sense of control.
When support is provided in time – we often see at MindCareCenter how the child gradually regains confidence, finds it easier to connect with others and no longer avoids social interaction. The family begins to feel that progress is happening, and parents gain tools to better protect their child in the future. Restoring the sense of safety becomes a crucial step toward healthy emotional adjustment.
If you notice that your child avoids school, appears unusually tense or has changed emotionally – it is important not to ignore these signals. At Mind Care Center, we help recognize bullying early, protect the child and restore their inner sense of security.
