Start Here- A Parent's Guide to Helping Children and Teens through Mental Health Challenges
Type : epub |
Size : 3.1 MB |
Descirption: From two of the top child and adolescent psychiatrists comes an accessible guide to common mental health struggles, such as anxiety and depression, for any parent wondering how to help their child.
Is my child okay? Is she eating and sleeping enough? Is he hanging out with the right people? Should I be worried that she spends all their time in her room? Is this just a phase? Or a sign of something serious?
As parents, we worry about our children-about their physical health, performance at college, the types of friends they have, and of course, their mental health. Every day seems to bring new and expanding issues and disorders for parents to worry about and troubling statistics about the rise of mental illness in children and teens. It's usually obvious what to do for physical injuries like broken bones, but when it comes to our children's mental health, the answers are much less clear, and sometimes even contradictory.
