It's Okay to Not Be Okay by Dr. Toni Stewart

Children's mental health is of paramount importance as it lays the foundation for their overall well-being and future success. A child's mental health influences their ability to learn, build positive relationships, and handle life's challenges. Early experiences and emotional development shape their cognitive abilities, social skills, and emotional resilience. By prioritizing mental health, we can prevent the onset of more severe issues in adulthood, such as depression and anxiety, thereby fostering healthier, more productive lives. As a community we have to normalize children's being able to recognize when they aren't feeling their best and let them know that there are people who they can talk to.
