Parents have to be very observant to be able to identify mental health issues in their kids. One sign is when a child starts withdrawing and no longer wants to do the things he or she always enjoys doing. Dig deep to know why as that might be a budding depression. Another sign is when a child becomes excessively clingy to the parents. There is something that is certainly bothering that child's mind.
