Children’s Mental health is an essential part of children’s overall he. It has a complex interactive relationship with their physical health and their ability to succeed in school, at work, and in society. Both physical and mental health affects how we think, feel, and act on the inside and outside. Mental health is important throughout childhood from parental considerations through transitions to adulthood.

Children are most physically and mentally vulnerable from the ages of newborn to 5, which is a fragile period for brain development. Adolescence is the next big chapter of a child’s life. Because brain development is rapid and ever-changing during these two critical points, children are most vulnerable to the impact of parental mental illness.

Fortunately, there are ways that parents can support their child’s mental health:

- Explaining to children that the parent’s mental illness is not their fault 

- Receiving help and support from family members

- A stable home environment 

- Psychotherapy for the child and the parent(s)

- Receiving love and attention from the parent 

- Positive self-esteem 

- Inner strength and good coping skills in the child

- A strong relationship with a healthy adult

- Friendships and positive peer relationships

- Interest in and success at school

- Healthy interests outside the home for the child 

- Help from outside the family to improve the family environment (such as parenting classes or individual therapy)

- All children have the right to be happy and healthy and deserve access to effective care to prevent or treat any mental health problems that they may develop

We all should take care of them, not only the parents.
