Identifying Mental Health Challenges in Children

[Ciri]

Children may struggle with anxiety, depression, or ADHD, but signs often go unnoticed. If you are a parent, a teacher or have children to look after, you need to look for mood swings, withdrawal, or behavioral changes. By the way how do you think schools and parents can support children’s mental health?

Schools and parents can support children's mental health through awareness, counseling, open communication, healthy routines, and emotional support systems.

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.

Currently, my kid is experiencing stress related to studies. Currently, he is in grade 4 and in grade 4 they have introduced new subjects and my kid is having difficulty with his subjects. We are sensitive to this issue and we are trying to help him my making his studies fun through video lessons and interactive exercises. School related stress and anxiety is one of the biggest mental health issues facing by kids.

Pay close attention in changes in behavior, mood, or social interactions. Signs may include withdrawal, aggression, excessive worry, trouble concentrating, or changes in sleep and appetite. Early intervention, open communication, and professional support are key to addressing these challenges effectively.

I think there needs to be more awareness about this, these days i have come across so many children who are suffering from issues like depression or anxiety and the likes, and the parents are not even aware about this.

Watch for changes in behavior, sleep, appetite, or mood. I’ve seen kids withdraw, become overly anxious, or act out when struggling. Early signs matter, talking openly and seeking professional help early can make a big difference in their well-being.
