Recognizing When Your Kids are Struggling
Children today encounter unique pressures—ranging from school stress and friendship dynamics to the influence of social media. According to experts like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC, anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues are increasingly common among young people. As a parent or caregiver, recognizing symptoms early can lead to effective help and recovery.
Warning signs
Mental health concerns may appear differently depending on your child’s age and personality. Leading organizations, including the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and Mayo Clinic, highlight these indicators:
Persistent mood changes: Ongoing sadness, irritability, or mood swings lasting more than two weeks
Social withdrawal: Losing interest in friends, family, or favorite activities
Academic issues: Sudden drop in grades, lack of motivation, or difficulty concentrating
Sleep problems: Difficulty sleeping, excessive sleep, or frequent nightmares
Changes in appetite: Noticeable weight loss or gain, skipping meals, or overeating
Frequent physical complaints: Headaches, stomachaches, or unexplained aches
Excessive worry: Fears that seem disproportionate to the situation
Emotional regulation issues: Trouble calming down, frequent meltdowns, angry outbursts
Risk-taking: Self-harm, substance use, or dangerous actions
Expressions of hopelessness: Talking about feeling worthless or mentioning death/self-harm (seek immediate help)
How to help
If you observe these signs, create a supportive environment for honest conversation. Listen calmly, validate their feelings, and know that professional help is available. Early intervention can greatly improve outcomes.
Resources: CDC: Mental Health in Children and National Institute of Mental Health: NIMH Children and Mental Health
If you are concerned about your child, your Student & Family Assistance Program can provide support and resources. Please reach out at 800-236-3231 or aah.org/sfap.
