Children can suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression. An observant parent will notice when their child is not "right" and going to a therapist can help to determine how to best help the child.
Bringing a child to see a therapist is an important step in helping your child get well. Children can be affected by divorce, illness in the family, financial setbacks and many other life situations. Ignoring the problem won't make it go away.
It takes strength to accept that you may need to face some trying times but to get your child back to their normal healthy self, sometimes therapy is necessary.
Parents take their children to be vaccinated and for yearly health exams. Your child's mental health is important also. Often therapy can "solve" what is wrong and there should never be any shame involved. Mental illness does happen in children. Acceptance of what you cannot change and learning how to cope with it is the best thing that you can do for your child.
