Potential Warning Signs in Chidren

Here are some important indicators to help you decide if you need to get more help for your child.

While it's not always the case a GP visit might pick up on physical reasons for low mood in your child.  Even if it is just for peace of mind do think about ruling out physical problems with your GP before assuming it is purely psychological.  Inflammation can be to blame; low vitamin D might play a part; physical pain can contribute as can low iron levels.

And what if my child doesn't want to talk?

Below is a video clip that might help.  It includes the advice of a respected clinician as well as interviews with parents, and young people who benefitted from finding someone talking to them.  It is from the well respected organisation Beyond Blue.

Please share it with other parents who do not know what to do.

What else can I do?

Below is a video clip that might have some useful ideas to help you manage with your child.
