Mental Health Matters

“Your child’s mental health is the foundation for their growth, learning, and relationships. Just like we care for their physical health, nurturing their emotional well-being helps them handle challenges and celebrate victories. Mental health isn’t just about avoiding struggles—it’s about building resilience and fostering a positive sense of self.”
Try asking your child these thoughtful questions:

“How are you feeling today—really feeling?”
“What’s one thing that made you smile this week?”
“Is there anything that’s been on your mind or worrying you?”

Your openness helps your child feel safe to share and reminds them that their feelings matter.
