Lifestyles Ideas Management - Troubled Kids

Kids and adolescents aged 19 years are seeking help at the Mental Health. There has been a very active awareness of mental illnesses and greater outreach program on the media.
Due to this awareness, many parents are coming forward to seek help early.
The cases involves children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD –HD), learning disorder or emotional disorders such as excessive worry, fear and sadness.
Of past when one mentioned about seeking psychiatry, the general thing will be that this person has blown his mind away. Now such stigma has diminished, as more and more parents are willing to seek help. In the past, people thought it was a bad reflection of their parenting skills if they needed to bring in their child for help. But now if you do not bring your child for help it is seen as bad parenting.

The alarming problem is many children are stressed up and there is a lack of parent and child interaction. The long hours at school and work meant that family members hardly spend time together. During interaction the parent will usually asked about school work and the scoring marks, hardly about the well being of the child. The child equates their self-worth with how far they had met their parent’s expectations. Another distraction is the internet which is vying for the child’s attention. It is hard for parents to get the child to bed early as their kids stay online. If parents did not impart necessary life’s skills, their child may not be able to handle crisis when this happen. The children of today do not have opportunities to experience major life events or adversity; they may not be able to cope with stress. It is a good sign that more are seeking help rather than letting the kids suffer in silence.

With the society obsession with perfections seem to have churned out a generation of youngsters who base their self-worth too much on whether they are able to attain straight As. Students are so apprehensive of their “failures” that they broke down before they seen their result slips. Student life is running a marathon.
I hope that the Government will be building more educational institute and not Mental Health Institutions.
