Your Child’s Mental Health Matters!
“It’s easy to know your child needs help dealing with a fever or a broken bone, but mental health problems can be harder to identify. The tricky part of parenting is knowing the kinds of behaviors and moods that are usual for the stage of development your child is in – and when your child has gone beyond the norm and needs help,” (MHA of MA, 2018).
For the month of May, teach RESILIENCY to your child! See the attached Calendar for ideas.
Stay tuned for updates on our Facebook about events all week long!
