What is Mental Health?
Mental Health is SUPER Important (for everyone, not just kids)!
It includes your emotional, psychological, & social well-being. Our mental health influences how you feel, think, & act.
It's important to care for you mental health & your children's.
Our mental health impacts how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. It impacts pretty much everything we do!
For example:
When something bad happens in the morning, it can ruin our mood & our whole day. This in turns impacts the way we interact with others, such as lashing out on our kids, partner, or coworkers.
When we don't care for your mental health, it displays on your child. Children model what they see. Demonstrating the importance of caring for your mental health teaches them that they should care for their own as well.
We know that our MENTAL HEALTH affects our mood. However, it's important to note that its okay to have BAD days or have NEGATIVE EMOTIONS. We all do, cause we're HUMAN.
However, we should learn ways to make ourselves feel better, even if its just a LITTLE better. Things you do to help you cope- AKA COPING SKILLS
