It seems extraordinary to need to discuss promoting good mental health in children, as childhood is often viewed as a carefree time. Many parents assume that kids naturally possess healthy mental habits to navigate life's challenges. Unfortunately, this is not the case; the landscape of children's health is evolving. Our daily behaviors and thoughts shape who we become. As parents and significant adults, we must guide children in developing positive mental habits that foster resilience and well-being, enabling them to thrive. For over 25 years, Kari Sutton has translated emerging research into practical strategies that parents can easily incorporate into their daily routines. These approaches aim to plant the seeds of psychological well-being in children, cultivating habits that endure throughout life. Being mentally fit can help prevent conditions like anxiety and depression. Mentally fit children experience greater self-esteem, creativity, and can handle stressors such as bullying or exams with greater calmness and less anxiety. By educating our children about the significance of mental well-being, we can work towards raising a generation that is mentally fit and equipped to face the challenges of life.
