Ask the Expert Series: Supporting your children’s mental health

Without referring to any specific age group, an observation of your child’s behaviour patterns could be good ways to help you see if your child is coping. Signs of a child who is coping well would usually be things like a child who’s meeting their developmental, emotional and learning milestones, have healthy social skills and demonstrate an ability to cope well with problems. If you’re located in Singapore, websites like the parent hub on the Health Promotion Board and Families for Life are good sources of information to help meet parenting needs.
