Your Child's Mental Health A Responsibility

"Parents don't want to take their children to counselors or psychiatric treatment because they are concerned what other family members may think, concerned about what society may think. I've come across situations where people who are experiencing mental illnesses want to seek help but the family won't allow them to do that"

Children with good mental health feel loved, safe and secure in their environments. They also feel happy and positive about themselves most of the time. They're kind to themselves during tough times or when things don't go the way they expect. They enjoy life, learn well and get along well with family and friends.

On the other hand, a child suffering from mental health issues is generally defined as one having delayed or disrupted age-appropriate thinking, behaviors, social skills, or regulation of emotions. These problems disrupt their ability to function well at home, in school, or in other social situations.

It is important to identify the early signs and seek treatment.
