We know how to care for our child's physical health, but do you ensure your child is mentally healthy? Is mental health as important as physical health?|||I have them in intense one-on-one play therapy everyday of course...just kidding.
I have a personal relationship with all my children. Each and everyone of them know they can talk to me. I know my child's strengths and weaknesses, and we learn to maintain our strengths and work on our weaknesses. I have an 11 year old daughter and the drama with girls right now is hard on her. It's hard on everyone. I just keep praying for her. We talk before she goes to bed, we communicate. I listen to her. I do everything I can in my power to make sure she has everything at her opportunity. If she needs a tutor because science is really stressing her out, I will get her one. If she is having friend problems I will do my best to help her solve them. But you have to start when they are young and work yourself up, you have to make sure you build that relationship for day one or your kid is never going to come to you about anything.|||I'm 13 and my parents don't do anything for my mental health. I was a weird kid-I never believed in Santa Klaus and I read the news instead of joining facebook. I was bullied for years and I have very low self-esteem-but there's nothing really wrong with me. The best you can do for your kids is leave their mental health alone-if they need help, they'll ask.|||Most important for mental health generally is to find peace with God, and try to live a God-honoring life. As you draw away from the troubles of the world and seek a more spiritual way, you can find a deeper peace and a better life. Also, we need to know God for protection and guidance in life, and to get to heaven after we die someday. For a child, getting them in a Christian Sunday school class is a nice way to help them learn about God, and make some Christian friends. This is the basic Christian message and prayer --- you need to accept God's Son, Jesus Christ, into your life to be a born again Christian and follow God's ways so you can receive God's guidance in your life and get to heaven after you die. Knowing God can transform your life. When you know God, then pray about your life, God can help you live a better life. As God is love, life is primarily about love and relationships in order to have a rich and full life. Also, you need to know God's Son, Jesus Christ, in your life as your Lord and Savior as Jesus died on the cross as payment for our sins. Having Him with you will give you God's blessing and forgiveness, as you live God's way. Not following God leads to hell, eternal suffering. Instead, there is an important prayer to pray to become a born again Christian. This prayer should be said with faith in God and a sincere heart:
"Dear God, I know that I am a sinful person and I don't want to be like this anymore. I know that Jesus Christ died on the cross as payment for our sins, and I want to accept Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior so I can receive God's forgiveness, guidance, and go to heaven someday. Thank you, dear God, for your mercy and guidance; in Jesus' name. Amen."
This prayer can take you to a new place in your relationship with God and transform your life. After saying this prayer, you should check out a Christian church, like Baptist, Lutheran. The church can get you baptized and prayed for, and you can pray for yourself daily. Also, get into their Bible study group so you can learn more about God, Jesus, and God's will for your life. The Bible is God's instruction book about how to live a God-honoring life so you can go to heaven after you die. Ways to stay connected to God's path include loving God and Jesus Christ, obeying God's ways, daily Bible reading, daily prayer for yourself and others, getting to church, having your church prayer group and/or pastor pray for you, fasting with prayer for a higher level of prayer, getting with other Christians and doing a Bible study, singing hymns to God, taking communion with the church, helping and loving others, expressing your gratitude to God for His help in your life by telling others of your progress and helping them draw closer to God too. God guide your life.|||I pray over them. I pray that the Lord place a hedge of protection around their minds and hearts and that my husband and I will bring them up in a healthy, Godly manner.
As long as God is directing me and my husband, my children will be mentally and spiritually sound.
If our kids have any issues, we talk with them. We pray with them. We feed their souls with encouragement, affirmations and scripture that has helped us along the way.|||one of my top priorities as a parent is making sure that in all the craziness of the "have to dos" each of my children always has time set aside for the purely "want to dos."
to me, if you've got time you can rely on to do the things you're passionate about, it's an awful lot easier to do everything else.|||I keep him as happy as possible and if I feel like I'm going to have a breakdown myself or am crying, I do my best to keep him from seeing me like that. I know I can't answer too much more in depth because my son is only 1.|||My teen has gone through several depression screenings since middle school, administered by the school. Her mental health is robust. Is it as important as physical health? What good is a healthy body if the kid commits suicide?|||I homeschool them.
