About: educational counsellor
An educational counsellor (pedagog) advises parents and children on learning, upbringing and behaviour: organising homework, a child refusing school, falling grades, conflicts with peers or not listening, and getting ready to start kindergarten or school. For families who have moved to Montenegro, they can also help a child adjust to a new environment, language and school system. They work one-to-one, with parents or with the whole family.
Frequently asked questions
When is it worth seeing a pedagog?
When you notice a lasting change in your child's behaviour, motivation or school results, or you're stuck on a parenting issue. Sometimes a few conversations are enough to get a clear plan.
Do I come alone or with my child the first time?
Often the pedagog meets the parents first and then the child. Ask how they work and bring notes on what you've noticed.
Can they help with enrolling in a local or international school?
They can help you prepare your child and know what to ask, but enrolment and recognition of foreign school records are decided by the school and the Ministry of Education. Confirm those details with them.
Is it possible online?
Parent counselling often works online, while work with the child is usually better in person. Formats and languages are listed on the profile.
How is a pedagog different from a psychologist?
A pedagog focuses on learning, upbringing and behaviour, a psychologist on emotions and psychological development, and a defektolog on developmental difficulties. A good pedagog will refer you on when needed.
