Promoting Positive Mental Health in Children

The Foundation of Positive Mental Health Fostering positive mental health in children is just as important as addressing mental health issues. It’s about encouraging a state of well-being where children realize their own abilities, cope with normal stresses of life, work productively, and contribute to their community. Positive mental health is the cornerstone of children’s development, influencing their educational achievements, relational skills, and resilience. Positive Indicators in Children Recent data, particularly from 2016-2019, shed light on positive mental health indicators among children: A high percentage of children aged 3-5 years showed affection (97.0%), resilience (87.9%), positivity (98.7%), and curiosity (93.9%).
