Psychological Assessment
The doctor recommended that they see a child psychologist to explore any emotional or psychological reasons behind Liam’s behavior. Emma agreed, feeling a mix of relief and apprehension. She hoped that a professional could shed light on why Liam was so fixated on his pants and whether it was related to stress, anxiety, or something else entirely.
Meeting the Psychologist
Dr. Martin, the child psychologist, welcomed Emma and Liam into her office. She created a warm and inviting environment to make Liam feel comfortable. Over several sessions, she conducted a series of play-based assessments and conversations with Liam to understand his thoughts and feelings. Emma watched anxiously from the sidelines, hoping for answers.
