A child’s mental health is such an important factor when considering overall health, success in school, self-confidence, and ability to engage with friends and family. Symptoms of mental health distress for kids can be different than the symptoms that appear in adults. Some of the symptoms children may experience are physical complaints, such as headache or stomachache, even when there is no physical cause, excessive worry, acting out, frequent bad dreams, bathroom accidents, declining grades, trouble sleeping, or changes in weight or appetite.
Therapy can provide a place for children to learn to identify and express emotions, gain coping skills to deal with difficult situations, practice healthy communication, and build self esteem overall.
