International Children Day
International children day.
5 October in Sweden.
I worked with kids today in my internship.
It is amazing to see them laugh, to see them succeed but yet I don't know them too well; Too well to tell when a mental ill-health might appear.
We are learning the kids that they shall express their feelings.
That's why I have made theatre games with them, where the aim is to feel comfortable to show sadness, anger, happiness, shyness etc. They shall put words to their feelings, in early age.
Why?
Because it can prevent that anxiety occurs in their teenage lives.
Whenever a kid needs you, be there, be a listener.
Kids need a listener.
A listener strengthens their confidence.
Children will show youtheir improvements, creativity, mess, sadness, happiness etc.
YOU are their hero!
Also,
do show all kids how important they are.
Their creativity, curiosity, ideas are important and need to be listen at.
Everyone should have their own "-ness" that is unique and wonderful and worthy.
Let us prevent the mental ill-health by paying attention to that children are OUR future and we build them! #lifewithmentalillhealth #LWMIH
peace
