As a parent, there is so much you can do to improve your child’s mental health. Those small everyday moments that we tend to neglect contribute to who they become, including how they manage stress.

We do our best as parents to provide loving care and help our kids be successful in the future. As we all live more busier and stressful lives, a child’s emotional development has become less important.

Understanding what is typical “moody” behavior in kids and teens versus what might be a mood issue or depression can be hard for parents to sort out. For those of us that have multiple children, we know that kids come out with their own personalities and sometimes kids can be wired as a “glass half empty.” You know, always, “No!”
Fear. It holds us back and hijacks our thinking. It makes you disconnect from your body and boy does it make you uncomfortable. Fear. It means you aren’t connected in the present because you’re on that worry train thinking about what is going to happen or really what isn’t going to happen. You’re so busy catastrophizing and thinking the worst
Many kids and teens come to me with a diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), which means that they have a hard time with the word, “no” and don’t easily follow rules or requests. Kids with ODD face many challenges in the classroom, at home and socially. Their constant agitation, poor impulse control and simple lack of pleasantries cause others
With cases of PANS/PANDAS on the rise due to the increase of infectious disease, PANS, PANDAS and autoimmune encephalopathy (AE) and similarly to ODD, they should always be ruled out as a source of oppositional and defiant behaviors, especially when there is a sudden onset.

Temper tantrums are unpleasant, disruptive behaviors or emotional outbursts that children exhibit when frustrated. Children have temper tantrums in response to unmet needs or desires or when they feel a lack of control. Hunger, exhaustion, discomfort, sensory needs, or wanting something they can’t have all trigger tantrums. The behaviors can range from whining and crying to screaming, kicking, hitting, being stubborn, resisting tasks or holding one’s breath. A tantrum can be a way for child to get a reaction or get what they want.
Temper tantrums are a normal and common part of child development and raising children, and parents often struggle with how to manage them. All the parenting books and parenting classes discuss the “terrible twos” and how to handle toddler tantrums, but as children approach five and six, a kid throwing tantrums may trigger worry. While parents become concerned that they reflect a deeper concern, for most kids they are a part of typical child development. Sometimes, however, they are a sign of a problem that needs to be addressed when they occur with intensity, length, and frequency.
