Hi there! It’s fantastic to hear about your passion for psychology and your goal of becoming a child therapist! Here are a few ideas to get you started on your project:
Research Project: Choose a specific topic in child psychology that interests you, such as the effects of trauma on child development or the importance of play in therapy. You could create a presentation or write a paper exploring your findings.

Creative Workshops: Organize creative workshops or activities focusing on emotional expression for children. You could incorporate art, music, or storytelling to help them communicate their feelings in a fun and engaging way.
Podcast/Blog: Start a podcast or blog where you discuss topics related to child psychology, share resources, or interview professionals in the field. This could help you build a network and learn more about the profession.
Book Club: Form a book club with your peers focusing on books about child psychology, parenting, or mental health. This promotes discussion and deepens your understanding of various concepts.
Informational Campaign: Create awareness around child mental health by designing informative posters or social media content about signs of mental health issues in children and ways to support them.
Capstone Project: If your school offers a capstone or independent study program, consider developing a long-term project that explores a specific aspect of child therapy and its impact.
Remember, starting small is perfectly fine! Networking with teachers or local professionals can also help you refine your project idea. Good luck, and have fun with it!
