As the adage goes, it takes a village to raise a child. That’s why, when it comes to any topic pertaining to your child’s mental health, don’t be afraid to reach out for help from a registered professional.
Davies says that, though it is important that parents feel they can support their kids through daily life, “talking to other people and getting some outside help is [also] really important.”
If the issues your child is facing start to interfere with their day-to-day functioning, Davies says that is a good sign that it’s time to turn to a professional.
