When a child has fever, we give them medicine. When a child learns to swim, we give them floaters. We do everything to keep them healthy and safe. But what about their brain? How do we keep them mentally healthy? 1. Normalize mental health- If your child has breathing issues or cries a lot, don't shut them down or call them a “cry baby”. Allow them to vent, and then have an open conversation with them to understand how they are feeling. Try sharing a situation where you felt anxious. This will help create a safe space.
Recent events have yet again stressed on the fact of how mental health is very important. This is an amazing list, Aakanksha. :)
