Taking Care Of Kids In The Mental Health System

“Life is worth living, so live another day. The meaning of forgiveness. People make mistakes, doesn’t mean you have to give in. Life is worth living again.” ~ Justin Bieber

Hello. I’m Laura and I’m here to talk about the importance of taking care of our brain, our mental health in the world of motherhood and fatherhood. Being a parent can come with our own ways and methods with parenting their own kids. Though this can get out of hand and not in a wise or logical yet smart way to care for children overall when things become messy and still end up trying again and again which comes with insanity.,

Though if one is able to get a better understanding of what methods are rather triggering or harmful to one’s mental health, at any age, parents from different generations will have a better vision of what parenting should be while considering mental health a high priority! Mental health is important.

And though I may not be in any position to tell any parents how to care for their kids and teach them how to be civilized human beings in our society; though I can say that I’ve had plenty of experience with my parents and how they’ve done so with me and one big statement I’d like to make is that parents from older generations aren’t normally that easily convinced nor educated on how to care for their children’s mental health. And that statement is that though it may appear or be heard by other parents as offensive or hurtful in any perspective; some methods that parents use with their children don’t realize how harmful and life impacting they are to a child’s brain/mental health.

For example: saying the phrase “don’t come crying to me…” doesn’t work. Why? Well when a parent speaks this to a child of theirs, it shows the child to not run to them for emotional support and comfort when in times of need regardless of what the cause of the emotional pain was; and rather run to those who show and prove are the kind of people who we can rely on for in these times. If we don’t have any human being to go to, some of us have those cuddly companions such as a cat, dog or any other pet to be comforted by in these specific times.

So to discuss more on the topic of the main reasons for considering and including mental health when parenting your kids is as stands next.

Caring for someone at any age means putting yourself in the point where you try to understand someone else and what they believe is what’s best for them and what they want and what they’ve been through, to be open to what you may not understand yourself with what knowledge and education you do have about mental health and mental illness.

And yeah Demi Lovato has said that no one can wake up without having a mental illness anymore. Though every 1 in 5 people live with mental illness, it’s common enough that we need to make some changes with how we are creating our lifestyle. We can’t just continue acting the way we have been for decades anymore.

Things have changed and they have been for quite some time and we have to come with the terms that mental illness is real and we need to come to acceptance of what we have been fighting against. Being in denial of the fact that mental illness seems to our understanding as absurd, stupid, shameful and any other term that society can think of.

You think that you know everything about parenting and yet still your methods, knowledge and education on mental health and parenting, there appears to be more problems and mental health issues that arise each and every day. So what’s the solution to this?

Well we gotta change our way Of thinking. As Albert Einstein once said:

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
