No. If there is no problem, I would not go about creating one. As a child, I was sent to a therapist when I didn’t need one. It did a lot of damage to me. I would not wish that on any other child. Even if your child gets matched with a good therapist, the danger of pathologization is very real. The kids themselves will likely wonder what is wrong with them? Why does their mom think they need therapy? What do they have that no one is telling them about? Count your blessings your kids seem healthy and well-adjusted and continue to listen to them and support them.
Thanks for this!
