Teen Mental Health Awareness

Talking to your kids about their thoughts and feelings is crucial for their development. Here are some tips to make these conversations easier:

1. Set the Stage: Create daily habits of checking in with your kids.

2. Choose Low-Distraction Times: Family dinners, car rides, and bedtime are ideal.

3. Model the Behavior: Share your own feelings to show that it's normal.

Remember, it's okay if they don't want to talk right away. Offer to find a better time.
