Books to Encourage Conversations About Mental Health
This has been a tough year for our little ones, with so much change and disruption to their lives. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and a great reminder to start talking to our children about the state of their mental health (especially the little ones who are learning to manage feelings and situations out of their control). As a society, we are learning to normalize speaking about our own mental health and seek support from friends, family, and professionals. Below is a list of children and YA books about anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, ADHD, and managing emotions to help us begin these critical conversations with our little ones.
También, hemos incluido una compilación pequeña de libros en español para fomentar conversaciones del estado de salud mental con los hijes.
