Theoretical approaches of counseling for parental responsibility and socially vulnerable family therapy

Abstract

The pedagogical/educational dimension of counseling aims to provoke conscious changes in the cognitive, affective, attitudinal and behavioral sphere of children and parents by involving them in educational-formative activities, which ensure the acquisition and consolidation of skills, skills to face life's challenges. The formation of parental skills for relating and communicating with one's own children, especially with those of preadolescent and adolescent age, represents the essence of counseling centered on this dimension. Parents become partners of the counselor in harmonizing the relationship between them and the preadolescent. Counseling focused on the development of parents is combined with the training-development activities of children in the school setting.
