Doctor's advice:

• "A child's mental health is just as important as their physical health. Contact a child psychologist not only in difficult moments, but also for prevention. If a child is anxious, often sad, avoids communication, or is overly emotional — these are signals that should not be ignored. Timely support reduces the risk of developing serious emotional conditions in the future. Take care of your child's emotions and feelings."
