Children's Mental Health Week
|
|
|
Children's social-emotional development—integral to mental health—is nurtured through strong, supportive relationships with caring adults. Early childhood presents a window of opportunity to lay the groundwork for a child's lifelong emotional well-being. Throughout Children’s Mental Health Week, we champion activities aimed at fostering children's social-emotional skills. Additionally, we honor the significant role of early learning professionals and all caregivers in nurturing the emotional well-being of our youngest learners.
Let's emphasize the significance of children’s mental health not only during this designated week but each and every day!
