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. It gives you a sence of flow of life.

These pleasing, dreams and wishes will affect their better future life. 

On the other hand, unsolved childhood trauma has had negative 

impacts on people's life during adulthood 

as individuals, families, friends, couples, parents, or 

co-workers. Besides, 50% of lifetime mental illnesses 

begin by age 14, and 75% of them emerge by age 24. Therefore, 

many people have to spend their lifetime trying to forget a part of 

their unpleasant childhood. In other words, they feel that they are 

deprived  of having a calm peaceful life. 

 How To Know If Your Children 

Have Mental Issues?

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.
