While it’s normal for kids to feel upset during separations, some may struggle significantly, affecting their daily lives. Symptoms can include stomach aches, nightmares, clinginess, and even school refusal. It's essential to recognize these signs and support our little ones through their feelings. 💖 Link below to read about coping strategies for parents and children. https://lnkd.in/gjM_SbJX Kavitha Manokaran is a Senior Clinical Psychologist based in IMC Camden, IMC Children and IMC Katong.

🌟 As Men's Mental Health Month draws to a close, it's vital for psychologists to stay informed about the APA's guidelines for treating boys and men. These guidelines emphasize the need for sensitive, gender-aware care that acknowledges the impact of societal norms on mental health. They remind us to consider the complex factors influencing the lives of boys and men, from cultural expectations to personal experiences. By following these guidelines, psychologists can enhance their ability to provide tailored support that meets the diverse needs of male clients. Let's share these resources widely to empower all mental health professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver compassionate care to boys and men everywhere. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on men's mental health. 🌐💼 #MensHealth #Psychology #APAGuidelines #MentalHealthAwareness
