A child's mental health starts at home.
Written by Lina Ahmed Daba 🇪🇬
The family is the primary incubator for human growth and the formation of psychological and social awareness. In a world filled with challenges, the family's mental health has become the cornerstone for protecting children from psychological disorders and behavioral problems. A home is not just a place to live; it is the environment in which a sense of security, trust, and belonging is formed.
When a parent experiences stress, anxiety, or depression without awareness or support, this disorder is indirectly passed on to the children.
A child learns from example before words.
Psychologically reconciled parents instill in their children a sense of security and balance, while a family filled with shouting, violence, or neglect instills fear, confusion, and turmoil within the child.
Psychological support for the family is not a luxury, but an educational necessity.
When families learn to manage their emotions, express anger in healthy ways, and listen respectfully, they build a generation that is psychologically strong, able to deal with life with confidence and inner peace.
Prevention also starts at home, through:
Calm dialogue between parents and children.
Emotional containment instead of harsh punishment.
Accept the child as he is, not as we want him to be.
Taking care of the mental health of the parents before waiting for the balance of the child.
Conclusion:
A psychologically healthy family raises a healthy child, and a balanced society begins with a safe and loving home.
Mental health is not a luxury, but a person's first line of defense from the moment of birth.
Let's start with the treatment from the roots: from within the home, from the hearts of mothers and fathers who create tomorrow.
