Mental health disorders in kids
Hi EA! My 12 year old daughter tried to kill herself in February. While dealing with that, my 15 year old started acting out. She’s always had a typical teenage girl attitude but this was extreme attitude. The last month or so she’s been acting out to the point where I suspect she has a mild mental illness. We’re in the process of trying to figure it out and most of the time she’s fine but when she’s in one of her episodes it’s heartbreaking and very scary to handle. I think my kids need counseling and professional help(which they’re getting) but dad thinks they need fresh air and discipline. While I very much agree with him, I’ve seen first had that his “discipline only” approach only makes things worse and then he says I need to discipline her more for acting out. My approach is to step up with the discipline but also to have compassion and understanding while dealing with her outburst. What are your thoughts on this and how do we, as parents, balance discipline and grace while dealing with not just mental health issues such as depression and anxiety but also more severe mental illness such as bipolar, borderline personality, schizophrenia, and others?
@jessicaajones10 I can imagine how heartbreaking it is for you and your husband! Sending so much love and healing vibes to your family❤️✨🙏
@jessicaajones10 First much love and understanding for your family. Second, i love your name 😉 im a fan!
We tend to see mental issues as "illness", but i never do. I try to understand them as normal reactions of the (mental) body. Nature always has few options to respond to extreme, unexpected trauma. Fight, flight, freeze. It is a normal reaction. Too much of same kind of traumas can give adhd (fight), autism, suicide (flight), depression (freeze, inactivity). The reason for this is because only 1 person can win, the other not. It even becomes physical because the body alters the hormone balance, after the trauma. A trauma is sometimes a real trauma like an accident, robbery, loss of a person, bullying, abuse, but also vaccination, past life trauma, psychic attack, or taking over burden for a parent. Count the average events in someone's life and see it's a lot to heal!
So, how to heal? Outside = inside. So start to work in your own bodies. Lots of shadow work to be done, internally inside you. Plus: Let Love stream from source to your family. Aura cleaning, cord cutting. All free to do next to counseling.
Physically, take care of a healthy gut, so fast a few days, which is also free, and start to use lots of vegetables and fruit in your family. Whatever they like. A healthy gut is known to correlate with a strong mental condition. But love is the most important ingredient, make sure to show it to all members. Do some activities together with your daughters that make them happy.
I stress the importance of fasting. The moment you start to fast, the self healing of the body (and mind) gets a head start! There's enough information on the internet how to do this properly. Hope you will let us know how things proceed. We're here to offer support all the time. When you need it, we'll send healings and love ❤. Consider it done!
Could you take some detox tea and offer this also to your kids, sweet it with some honey if its too bitter.
