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
