This paper considers what psychological support should be provided for children and adolescents with gender dysphoria based on lessons learnt as a member of a comprehensive medical care team for patients with Gender Identity Disorder (GID), and as a school counselor (SC).
 The characteristics of adult patients with GID and the results of psychological tests, together with the issues and problems these patients experienced in childhood are analyzed. The need to provide care in consideration of their low self-esteem caused by the inconsiderate remarks of others, how to lessen the conflicts arising from the stereo-typed gender images imposed at school, and the capability to face gender dysphoria and build their future are pointed out. Based on actual school cases, ideas for the support needed for these children and adolescents with gender dysphoria are presented. This takes a developmental viewpoint of a clinical psychologist who endeavors to provide children and adolescents with a safe place to talk about gender dysphoria problems, and serve as a liaison between the school and home.
