    This was one of the most powerful and informative videos I watched so far. I am going to college to become a child psychologist and this video answered some of the questions I had thank you doctor. I also want to try the positive side with all of my future patients, because I think that's what children need positivity. All "trouble children" are looking for is attention, positive attention.

    Im going into uni next year to study psychology and ive always felt like my path is working with children. I want to be able to help people and make a difference, be it invidividual, to one person, or something bigger in the education system maybe. But im still nervous as to what im going to be able to do and how its going to be. However, even if i doubt im quite sure psychology is what i love and that i wanna work with children in the future. Thanks for the video!

Or is it under something else of education?

    Hi, Doc. listen, I know you're obviously a professional who might not have time to read the comments or answer all the questions on his videos, but I just felt like I need to put myself out there. I'm 26 years old, I've worked a number of different dead end jobs but I like writing and self publishing children's books in my spare time. I'm at a crossroads in my life where I'm contemplating what the next step is. I don't have any children of my own, but I've noticed that for some reason kids just want to talk to me out of the blue and spill whatever's on their minds. sometimes it's not even my friend's kids or ones I've even met, just ones that pop out of the blue and start talking to me. sometimes I don't always have the advice they want to hear, but the look of gratitude and understanding they give me when they spill their guts to me just feels right. I don't have a ton of money and don't know where to begin with getting an education in this field. What I'm asking is how do I know this is right for me and where do I start if it is?

    In defence of the ADHD diagnosis, I was a pretty bad kid not going to get into it had conduct disorder saw a psychiatrist and wasn't diagnosed with ADHD even though others I knew were.
    In ADHD a simple way of looking at it is it's an underactive mind which is easily distracted by things. They are then given Ritalin usually which is a stimulant which would send you or I bouncing off the walls, and this has the opposite effect on them, calming them down. And thus proving the theory, the most important part of any theory is that it works.

    Hi - I graduated from Spelman college in 2019 with a bachelors in Early Childhood Education, and have just completed my first year of teaching. Teaching in an extremely underserved community, I had a great deal of students with little to no resources, that would benefit from the help with their mental health, as it impedes on their learning in some cases. This is one of the reasons I am very interested in becoming a Child Psychologist, but I am unsure of what my next steps should be.

    • @LiveOnPurposeTV

      I applaud your desire to do what you can to serve children, Kaylah Holmes. It's not really my place to give advice about which profession a person should choose - that is completely up to you. If you would like some guidance, I encourage you to talk to a college counselor as they can discuss with you in depth and determine the best course of action.

    Hi I'm in secondary school ( high school) in Ireland.I've always wanted to work with children, children with disabilities in particular. Recently I've been confused and unsure of what career path I want to take, what field I want to work in someday and what college courses I should take. I originally wanted to be a special education teacher but the job doesn't pay very well and I'm looking to have a lot of kids one day and with a low pay I don't think I could and where i live there aren't many special education schools.
    I have spent hours looking into all kinds of psychological and I heard that it's hard to get a job working with the exact kind of people I'd want to work with so I'm just not 100% sure if overall psychology is the right thing for me because I don't want to choose it just so I can work with challenged children and end up not working with them. I would love to be a school psychologist but not very many schools near me would need one or are looking for one. I looked at becoming a speech and language therapist which sounded great but after looking further into it I don't think it's right for me. I still haven't fully looked into occupational therapy so that could be a good option for me but then again I dont want to end up working with adults or elderly people, only children.
    I haven't fully looked into it but becoming an autism spectrum disorder specialist or a downsyndrome special could still be a good option for me. I'd love to open up a little centre one day for children with autism or downsyndrome and run my own little business.
    If anyone has any other job recommendations for me let me know. I'd love to hear some feedback and advice

    • @LiveOnPurposeTV
      @LiveOnPurposeTV  4 года назад +5

      Lisa Maxwell, I think it is very admirable of you to want to want to work in the area of children with special needs. As you progress with your schooling, you will find that some subjects are more interesting than others and that will help you narrow which profession you will want to have. You can also talk to school counselors. We have several videos discussing children with autism, you may want to check those out to get a feel for how to work with them. Just search "Live On Purpose autism" if you want. Honored to have you at the channel!

    Can you please explain the difference between positive psychology and occupational therapy?

    • @LiveOnPurposeTV
      @LiveOnPurposeTV  Год назад +1

      VelvetNightmare313. Occupational therapy helps you to adapt. Say for instance someone had a stroke, they might have limited use of one side of their body and an occupational therapist would look at the things they need to do in a day and come up with ways to make it easier to get it done. It could be an adaptive device or strengthening muscle groups to perform better.
      Positive psychology is training your brain to respond in a positive way no matter what is going on around you. I hope that helps.

    I have a 6 years old son.
    When he was 3 years old, he started school but because of COVID 19, it was just an online school ... an hour long class where he basically interacted with the class teacher only.
    So when he went to school, the next year, he had trouble settling down with new people.
    When he was 5 and promoted to the next grade level, the problem persisted.
    Now he is 6, and for the third consecutive year, he has social anxiety. He refrains from starting conversations. He categorically said that he does not know how to make friends ...
    Please help me.
    What should I do?

    • @LiveOnPurposeTV
      @LiveOnPurposeTV  Год назад +1

      What has the school done? What resources do they offer? Most have a Social/Emotional Curriculum. If not, they should, especially with the kids coming through who have been affected by COVID. Try some play groups or getting your child into some activities he is interested in where he can interact with other kids in a less formal atmosphere than school.

    • @mariamhaleem
      @mariamhaleem Год назад

      @LiveOnPurposeTV Thank you so much for your response. The school is asking me to suggest how they may help him. Is there any resource ... May be a book or course that you may suggest for catering to a child with higher emotional needs.
      My child is particularly sensitive abouts pranksters. That's really where the anxiety starts.

I’m not sure which one I should be and I do know the difference between them both. I don’t know what to do to become a pediatric psychologist or psychiatrist when I grow up.

      Amanda Ogbureke, I am not sure where you want to practice, but yes, those are great things to study to learn how to help others.
