Mental health is important at every stage of life. The early years are the best time for parents & caregivers to start building a child’s mental health.

Identifying your emotions is the first step to regulating them. The next time you find yourself responding to an emotional situation, answer these questions to increase your emotion awareness.

Good mental health gives children the ability to interact in social environments, follow directions, solve problems and manage their emotions.

Children are not born knowing how to regulate their emotions. Therefore, parents, teachers and caregivers must teach them emotional literacy skills.
