When Life Changes Feel Overwhelming

Children face many transitions - moving homes, changing schools, welcoming a new sibling, parental divorce, or other life events. While change is a normal part of growing up, some children struggle to cope, resulting in:

  • Anxiety, worry, or clinginess

  • Mood swings or irritability

  • Difficulty focusing at school

  • Sleep problems or physical complaints (headaches, stomachaches)

  • Social withdrawal or behavioral outbursts

These challenges can impact your child’s emotional wellbeing, academic performance, and relationships, leaving families feeling unsure how to help.

Understanding Adjustment Challenges in Children

Adjustment difficulties occur when a child has trouble adapting to new situations or stressors. Even small changes can feel overwhelming, and each child responds differently.

At Grove Counseling in Leeds, AL, we help children process transitions, build coping skills, and regain confidence and stability.

How Grove Counseling Helps

Our Therapists use child-focused, evidence-based approaches tailored to each child’s needs:

  • Play Therapy: Provides a safe, expressive outlet for feelings related to change or stress.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Teaches children to recognize unhelpful thoughts and develop adaptive coping strategies.

  • Parent Coaching & Family Support: Equips parents with tools to support their child’s adjustment and reinforce positive coping at home.

  • Social Skills & Emotional Regulation Training: Helps children navigate peer relationships and manage emotions effectively.

We focus on practical, hands-on strategies that help children feel supported, understood, and capable during challenging transitions.
