Doctor's advice:
- "If you want your child to feel your love, tell him or her often. Repeat words of support and care, such as "I love you very much." Prescribed medications can be helpful for your child if used correctly. They may have some risks, but with the right approach, their benefits far outweigh the possible negative effects. Take care of your child's mental health before problems arise. Regular consultations with a psychologist or psychiatrist can help to identify and address developmental or behavioral issues in a timely manner. Don't wait until a problem becomes serious; prevention and early intervention can help support your child's emotional well-being and development."
