Mental health and well-being: Children have Tender Minds
Mental health in childhood means reaching developmental and emotional milestones, and learning healthy social skills and how to cope with any issue. Education should not be limited to what is least necessary, but independent lessons should also be mixed with essential education, only then the growth of the mind of the children will be possible. As a parent, you play a huge role in supporting your child’s mental well-being. Nurturing and loving care lay the cornerstone of a strong foundation. When we do not pay attention to the mental health and upbringing of children and adolescents, we limit their ability to form meaningful relationships, learn and grow. From the moment children are born, infants look to caregivers in the hope that they will help them learn, grow, and thrive. Be it a parent, grandparent or any other caregiver, caregivers play the most important role in a child’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development. But parenting is no easy job, and as any caregiver knows, it doesn’t come from an instruction manual either.
Some important steps to establish Effective Communication with your child are :
- Listen , Encourage, and make sure it’s okay and safe to share your thoughts and feelings. When listening and encouraging your child as they share something, keep nodding your head or giving short affirmative verbal responses. Don’t be the judge. Trust them and Be patient.
- Pay attention to your child, do not divert your attention to listening to music, watching TV, reading newspapers, or talking on the phone, doing household chores, or office work. Maintain eye contact with them and don’t turn your attention away while listening to them or talking with them.
- Be honest and make them feel valued with your words and body language that you are there to support them. And talk about their interests – talk about the music or TV show they love. Enjoy their company and let this beautiful relationship grow. You can do all this while you are taking a walk with your child or watching a movie or telling a story to them. Develop a shared interest such as cooking or yoga or art.
Whether you and your child are getting along or facing challenges, it’s important to show them that you love and support them, and that you can guide them through difficult times and that you’re always there. are with them. Involve the child in household responsibilities, distribute work to them according to their age, ability. Discuss household responsibilities and encourage them to take interest in it and show their willingness to take up the responsibilities.Children feel secure in rules, boundaries and consequences that are mutually agreed upon. Your child is more likely to follow family rules that he helped create. They also make your child understand the family norms -its strength and positive influence and the consequences for breaking them. Talking with your child about following the rules can reduce a child’s anxiety, anger, mistrust, and handle conflict. Don’t lead by example by pointing out negative physical traits of other people or calling someone a derogatory nickname. Children learn from this and may, do the same or feel uncomfortable with their own self. Instead, praise the good qualities you see in your child and others.Always remember that your child is a part of you and tell your child that it can be at times uncomfortable for them to talk about what they think and how they feel but it’s okay to share and it’s okay to ask for help. If they don’t want to talk to you, advise them to talk to other people such as an aunt or uncle, a close family friend, a trusted teacher .a leader, an elder, or your doctor.

Author Abhishek Kapoor wishes all children a very happy happy Children’s day and urges their parents to let the children be children.
Many times, the parents tend to make their child follow the dreams which they themselves could not fulfil. It is important to let children enjoy their time (which would never return) and be what they want to be. Happy Children’s Day to all.
