Parents and teachers
often have questions about the specific behaviour of their children, for
example trying to understand appropriate vs inappropriate behaviour for
a developmental stage or age.
The ABCs of Mental Health provides two free, web-based Resources - one for teachers and one for parents
– to help answer these questions. These resources include ideas for
promoting the mental health of children and adolescents, as well as
information about how children change as they get older. You will also
find descriptions of behaviours that might indicate a problem, and
practical steps on how to help manage behaviours.
