In today’s fast-paced world, prioritising children’s mental health and emotional intelligence is more important than ever. Yet, a significant knowledge gap often exists among parents and teachers regarding child psychology, impacting the support children receive.
To bridge this gap, we must focus on:
Comprehensive training programs for parents and educators.Partnering with mental health professionals to provide children with the tools to thrive.Early identification of special needs, including skills like handwriting, which influence academic success.Encouraging emotional validation, helping children build emotional intelligence, a cornerstone of overall wellbeing.Monitoring screen time, fostering social connections, and creating a supportive environment are critical steps in this journey. As caregivers and educators, our role in nurturing their psychological and emotional health is the most important work we can do.
“Children are not a distraction from more important work; they are the most important work.”
