Question

When my child had a dispute with a classmate, the other parent came to the school and physically assaulted my child. After the incident, my child exhibited signs of psychological trauma, including fear and trembling, and even waking up in the middle of the night. Although they have seen a psychologist, the symptoms have not improved. May I ask if your hospital can provide further detailed examinations and treatment?

Answer

I’m sorry to hear about your distress. Firstly, I recommend communicating with the school about the physical assault by the other parent. You can consider reporting the incident to the police if necessary. Regarding psychological therapy, it is advisable for your child to undergo multiple sessions of counseling and try methods such as sand tray therapy. In daily life, you should spend more time with your child, providing them with a sense of security and encouraging them to gradually regain confidence. Life’s setbacks are inevitable, and these experiences can sometimes be opportunities for growth. At the same time, excessive protection may actually make your child feel lost when facing setbacks in the outside world.
