Children's Mental Health

What Every Child Needs for Good Mental Health

It is easy to identify children’s physical needs - nutritious food, warm clothes, adequate shelter
 and sleep - but a child’s emotional needs may be less obvious.

Here are some basics for a child’s good mental health:

  • Love and encouragement
  • Safe and secure surroundings
  • An opportunity to develop talents and abilities
  • Play time with other children
  • Appropriate guidance and discipline
  • Professional help, when needed
