At what age should we start caring about a child’s mental health? (1 Viewer)

There might be some bias from me based on the program I am in for school, but I think as early as possible, basically from birth.​

I feel like up till 15, a childs mind is more fragile and they can be hurt far more easily than someone who is older. I am pretty sure small children develop fears very easily and even they grown up, its difficult to get rid of them

even as early as during pregnancy if mom is stressed and/or in a toxic or violent enviroment it can affect the childs psyche and development. so definetly right at birth if the baby or the parents have mental health problems it should be treated immediately. No matter how young trauma can happen and can follow the baby until adulthood.

I agree, as early as possible

Immediately ofc, why would anyone say otherwise unless they were if the belief that all mental health is nonsense?

 

[Dreamer_of_Songs]

I would say immediately.

I have two kids so when they start socializing and going to kindy/childcare I guess - around 4ish maybe?

Depends on what that means??? Obv you cant just go around causing a child stress no matter the age. If talking about therapy and things like that, most probably no need for it until the time they are in distress.

i agree with all who say as soon as possible, especially at the time when they start going to school and spending time around other kids.
