Supporting Your Child with their Mental Health

 




Mental health is really important for children to learn and experience, and it’s why your child should become experienced in learning to handle their own wellbeing. To do this, you should direct your child to learn about how they can support themselves, and give them guidance so that you can help support your child’s mental health.

 

Here are some top tips from this senior school in Chelmsford.


Provide ways for your child to handle stress

When it becomes stressful for your child, it’s worth giving them free time and space to understand their feelings. If they have the chance to take a step back from a stressful situation, then let them do so as well. Keep in mind that your child may not know what the right answer is straight away, so don’t feel like you have to step in straight away, but also be there to give them pointers on how you handle your own levels of stress.


Encourage your child to keep a diary

Having a diary is a good way of using an outlet to vent and talk about your feelings without judgement from others. It also helps a child learn to be a bit less hard on themselves; writing out how we all feel makes us a bit more understanding about the situation and allows us to take a step back from things.


Show your child that it’s okay to make mistakes

We all make mistakes in our lifetime, which is why your child should be reminded of how they can make that possible. Work on how your child can manage when mistakes occur and how to troubleshoot issues when they arise.

 

Knowing how to solve a problem when they come up will give your child a lot more confidence in themselves as a result, and it also makes you see how far your child has become.
