Mental health in children refers to a state of emotional, psychological and social well-being in children. A compromise in any of these values results to a mental health disorder, and may affect how children grow into well-adjusted healthy, right-thinking and well-behaved adults. The mental status of a child determines how they think, feel, and behave, and plays an important role in how they handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.

Mental health in children is a topic that most parents underplay and misconstrue. For example, eating disorders, which are classified by the World Health Organisation as a mental health disorder, are often misconstrued and ignored by many parents, as picky eating which may turn out to have significant physical and psychological consequences in the life of a child.

Mood disorders are also being misconstrued and misunderstood by parents. Major depressive disorder causes persistent sadness or loss of interest in activities, but may be lightly dismissed by the unlearned parent, even though it is having a negative effect on academic learning and overall development of the child. Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) is characterised by severe, irrational and recurrent temper outbursts which are often mistaken for misbehaviour.
