Of bells and whistles and mental health

Does your child look happy? Are they coming home stressed and constantly upset? Are you checking in on your child's mental health??? Is their school?

This is crucial for children to remain happy, healthy and balanced. That attention is how children will end up being upstanders in life and in school.

Do you indulge your children's passions? Museums, sports, art projects, dinosaurs, a new puppy- or just being silly??

Talk to your children about listening carefully to their friends when they say they are unhappy, or stressed or in a dark place. Tell them to tell you or their teachers, tell someone!!

And instead of worrying about whether a school has 5 gyms, or sends half the class to Ivy League schools or has 3 Robotics teams in the finals, look and see if the school also prioritizes mental health.
