Abstract
Children of today are the leaders of tomorrow; therefore, we need to start counselling them from the childhood stage while they are undergoing their character formation. We cannot counsel children in the same way that we counsel adults. We counsel adults by sitting down with them, and allowing them to talk with us. If we use the same strategy with children, it is unlikely that they would tell us only the thing of utmost importance. They would probably become bored with the conversation after a short while, or would withdraw into silence. However, even if they should talk to us, they would probably deflect from important issues. This paper therefore, discusses some basic strategies for effective child counselling.
