How can we support our children and their mental health? By talking and listening to them! Talking with children about their thoughts, feelings and experiences helps their healthy growth and development. When you talk to children openly about their day, you can learn about concerns or problems they are dealing with, help problem solve and build their confidence for facing future difficulties. The more you talk, the easier it is when difficult topics come up! For expert guidance on conversations with kids, go to https://bit.ly/3xEjBiF and search for "Conversation."
