Why Is Children's Mental Health Important?

We all love to see cheerful happy laughing children, playing with no 

fears of problems.This is their right to live, happily without 

receiving any threats. 

Generally, children are full of wishes and dreams! You heard a lot from 

them about their dreams. They talk about their wishes, their futures, and what they want to become. These dreams are the seeds of growth and resilience. But when children experience unresolved trauma, it can affect their entire adult lives impacting their relationships, careers, families, and overall well-being.

Did you know?

  • 50% of lifetime mental health conditions begin by age 14.

  • 75% begin by age 24.

This means early awareness and support are critical. Without it, many adults spend years trying to heal from painful childhood experiences, often feeling deprived of the calm and peaceful life they deserve.


 Signs a Child May Be Struggling

Children's mental issues have been in crisis for
 years. Additionally, by COVID19 and the pandemic many 
folks, girls and boys had to stay home. Consequently, it
caused more mental illnesses. 1 in 6 of children 
and young people have mental problems. These diagnosed 
mental health issues, and more undiagnosed 
mental illnesses struggle with different challenges.  
Remember, sometimes silent children have unillustrated
thoughts, so you can not be quite sure that 
quiet children have no emotional issues! Children are aware of 
how they're perceived by others 
and it would affect on their beliefs about themselves. 
It is important for parents to know indicating sources of 
mental issues. For example, a stressful situation for 
children or adolescents is more likely to be expressed by 
negative things about themselves as “No one likes 
me”. 

Other mental issues symptoms among children can be showed as:

  • Negative behaviors such as anger or sadness.  
  • Don't enjoy the company of their own age.
  • Feeling socially isolated.
  •  Poor school performance.
