Published
Raja Permaisuri Agong, Raja Zarith Sofiah, emphasized that the issue of mental health among children is a collective responsibility that must be borne by the entire society. Her Majesty stated that this effort requires close cooperation between parents, schools, and the community to ensure the emotional well-being of the younger generation is safeguarded.
According to Her Majesty, the increasing pressures of life today have a significant impact on children's mental health. Therefore, a supportive and safe environment must be created at home and in schools so that children feel comfortable expressing their feelings without fear or shame.
Furthermore, schools are encouraged to be more sensitive to changes in students' behavior. Teachers play a crucial role as frontline individuals who can detect early signs of stress or depression among students before the situation becomes more serious.
Parents are also reminded to spend more quality time with their children. Open communication and unwavering love are the keys to building children's mental resilience in facing the challenges of a modern, highly competitive world.
In conclusion, children's mental health is not an issue that can be taken lightly. With strong support from all parties, we can build a brighter and healthier future for the next generation in Malaysia.
