ParenTea Ep. 8 – How to Recognize & Respond to Children’s Mental Health Struggles

Depression, anxiety, and negative thinking can show up in children in surprising ways. Unlike adults, kids may express emotional pain through anger, withdrawal, or even physical symptoms like headaches and stomachaches. In this episode of ParenTea, Dr. Khanh Tran explains how to recognize these signs early, respond with empathy, and build a supportive environment at home.
