Parenting
Many of the referrals for younger children involve us working with the parents/carers
‘parenting’ (especially in groups/classes) still carries a stigma/judgement for many parents
![Page 17: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Why might you see difficulties?
Put the behaviour in context
![Page 21: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Child factors including physical health
![Page 22: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Socioeconmonic impact on mental health (WHO, 2011)
Unemployment and service engagement (Evans-Lacko, 2013)
Lack of opportunityPublic spending cuts
Impact on the vulnerable Diminish the capacity to support
![Page 24: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Development
Developmental stage
![Page 25: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The strength of the relationship between client and clinician is vital in achieving good outcomes
Consider why seeking help may be difficult Recognise the effort that the parent is making Need to discuss any stigma re
psychologist/mental health services?
Engaging with parents
![Page 26: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Engaging with parents
Listen carefully Empathise Respect their views Think problems through together Empowering clients Attribute changes in child’s behaviour to
parents efforts
![Page 27: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Listening skills
Resist the temptation to try to ‘make better’ instantly
Don’t say ‘I know how you feel’ – you don’t!
Take parental concerns seriously
![Page 28: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Some overarching principles for parents
Adults as role models Calm, patience, timing Focus on encouraging acceptable
behaviours Consistent routines Predictable responses Praise, rewards, distraction
![Page 29: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
When do we give attention?
Give attention to anything you’d like to see more of, eg. good eating/toothbrushing/
hand washing/going to bed
![Page 30: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
How to give commands
Tell children what you want them to do
Can feel counter-intuitive (e.g.tempting to always say ‘stop shouting’ rather than ‘please talk quietly’)
![Page 31: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What you can do in ten minutes!
5 minutes: allowing the parent or child to speak
1 minute: identify the primary problem 2 minutes: strategies that they have
previously tried 2 minutes: advise on appropriate strategy /

When to refer…
If immediate risk: Suicidal→call local child mental health team Child protection →call social work
Think first about: voluntary sector self help parenting programmes (think: timing and containment)
Under 5s: is the Health Visitor involved?
![Page 34: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
School based difficulties

When to refer 2
Is it possible that today’s consultation (listening and containment) is enough to improve things?
Is it possible for them to monitor the situation and report back to you?
If it is a school based problem only, this needs to stay with school
Models of Educational Psychology provision
![Page 36: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
When to refer 3Think about:
The impact of the problem
The duration of the problem
What has been tried
What does the family/you think will help
Your observations
The context around the child, e.g. how doing in nursery/school
![Page 37: Clinical Psychology Services Dr Simon Smith Clinical Psychologist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Glasgow City Community Health Partnership.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081723/56649f275503460f94c3faf0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Remember…
Try to get as accurate a picture of the difficulty as possible
If not life threatening, try to give the family something to try and come back to you
Try to give us the nursery/school name You can call local services to discuss a
potential referral if you are unsure
