The Significance of Mental Health & Wellness In Children

Being a child in today's highly-competitive world is quite more challenging than a few decades ago. Many children find themselves stuck in the strict education system and fail to develop in-demand skills, which makes it difficult for them to strive ahead of their peers. 

At the same time, parents are also quite worried about their child's performance and also want their children to perform well ahead of their peers. On the other hand, pressure from all sides is also leading to depression and anxiety in children, which is quite difficult for the majority of children to overcome.

So, whether you believe that or not, mental health in children is as important as anything else that is important in the life of children. In this blog, we will discuss some of the best ways of understanding your Child's Mental Health and how you can help your children in improving their overall mental health. 

So, here we go!

Common problems that affect the overall child's mental health

According to recent research, 2.2 million children are living with a parent or guardian who has died. On the other hand, over 5 million children have to face bullying behavior and various other reasons why children have to face poor mental health. 

So, one of the common things most parents visiting our hospital ask is how they will know or how to diagnose whether their children are suffering from poor mental health. 

So, are you facing the same problem?

Here are some of the common symptoms of poor mental health in children.

• According to our child psychologist, 55% of children with poor mental health have an irritable or angry attitude.
• 68% of children feel sad and unhappy with their life, or they like disconnecting themselves from the external world. 
• 45% of children try hiding their feelings, eventually leading to depression. 

So, have you ever found these problems in your child? If yes, then you should definitely consult a child psychologist before it is too late. At the same time, you should also not stress on this point as your child needs some care and attention along with a lot of fun and encouragement, which we feel is quite enough to bring back to a normal life where they can feel a sense of belonging in the digital world. 

Here are some of the best ways you can focus on the best ways to take care of your child's mental health. 

Giving unconditional love to your children

The three pillars of family life should be love, security, and acceptance. Children must understand that your affection for them is unconditional and unrelated to their achievements. Failures and/or mistakes must be anticipated and acknowledged. Confidence rises in a household filled with unwavering love and affection.

Encouraging your children to play

Children view play as pure amusement. However, much like food and proper care, playtime is crucial for their growth. Children develop creativity, problem-solving techniques, and self-control via play. Running around and shouting while engaging in vigorous play is entertaining for kids and promotes their physical and mental well-being.

Sum up

Apart from those mentioned above, taking care of your child is one of the best ways to keep them happy and focused in their career.
