How Can I Help my Depressed and Anxious Child? (161)

Children are now victims of the mental health crisis. Unstable home and school environments, the constant bombardment of social media trends, shifting ideologies and pressures are some of the factors that Dr. Beena Wilkins, Pediatric Specialist and author, recognizes as affecting our children. A medical doctor and mother of teens, Wilkins tracks the resultant anxiety, depression, and debilitating fear from physical and spiritual perspectives. This insight, borne out of a personal journey with mental health stressors, has been the impetus for sharing her success in battling those challenges while, simultaneously, equipping parents with tools to help their children become healthy. Wilkins’ encouragement to “put your own oxygen mask on first,” comes straight from the flight attendant script, but is something she feels is actually biblically based. As parents and grandparents, make time for God first, listening to Him daily, then He will direct as you use basic and effective tools to encourage and assist your hurting, confused children.
