Children’s Book Series Teaches Basics Of Mental Health & Importance Of Self-Love
It is never too early to start a conversation with your kids about their mental health.
We're introducing a new book series that will help you easily and effectively teach your children about different psychiatric conditions and how it is okay to not be okay.
The ABCs of Mental Health written by Esther Kparyea explains that the young need to learn how to practice self-love at an early age so that they can grow to be happily adjusted adults in the future.
The new books address a growing need to help kids understand their mental health.
Children suffering from depression or anxiety may feel ashamed of their feelings as a sign of "weakness" or not being "accepted" by their families.
The "ABCs of Mental Health" explores different psychiatric disorders and is written in a way that your child will understand.
Each volume features multicultural characters to promote inclusion and encourage young people from all ethnicities to understand that mental illness can affect anyone.
The book also includes other items to help normalize mental health disorders in children, such as a daily routine checklist and weekly task list posters.
The book series is written for kids aged six to 12, but can also be a useful resource for anyone interested in learning more about mental health.
Esther Kparyea, LCSW is an experienced mental health children's writer and behavioral health advocate.
