well said..💕 I raised my kids giving 100 % support togetheer with my husband..
I agree. We should always give our 100% support to our children as early as possible unless it will do them no good. Our love and support are key to nurturing them. We should always be there for them too! Let's all do our best to guide our kids

When kids are going through troubles, they need support - that I totally agree. But before that happens, when they are young, even from toddler age, I think there is room to help them learn to be more resilient. I see around me many families who spoil their kids, try to make their way so smooth that they never learn to cope, to share, to pick themselves up - physically as well as emotionally. Start them on this earlier, and they will have greater coping mechanisms when they are older. They will still experience difficulties, but they are less likely to be devastated.

It’s not always easy, especially with my 5-year-old son…im currently helping my child cope with school stress and peer pressure, even at such a young age. To help lessen his stress, I make sure to create a safe space at home where my child feels comfortable talking about their day. We engage in fun activities together, like drawing or playing games, to ease any worries. Additionally, I always remind my child that it’s okay to ask for help and that we’re here to support them. Mental health matters, no matter how young, and it’s our responsibility as parents to nurture it with love and understanding.

Been there before. My son also experienced difficulty when we moved here 3 yrs ago. At first I had a hard time understanding my son's unusual behavior so I asked my husband to talk with him since he opens up more to him. That's when we knew that he is struggling to blend in to his new environment. We comforted him and gave him advice...I also reminded my child that it's absolutely fine to seek help when needed, and that we're always here to support him. Thankfully, he made new friends after a few days which helped him alot. I pray that your son overcomes his struggles soon. Just always be there to support him. You got this!

\"Just as change can be difficult for adults, children experience similar emotions—anxiety, fear, and stress,\" says Angie Frencho, MEd, a teacher and gifted intervention specialist. \"Keep open communication. Talk about and validate feelings. Try to encourage new friendships in the neighborhood, through extracurriculars, or [in worship communities].\"
