Here are some fun mental health check questions for children:
How are you feeling today? Can you describe your emotions in one word?
What’s something that made you happy or proud this week?
Have you been getting enough rest and sleep?
What’s your favorite way to relax and de-stress?
Have you been spending enough time doing things you enjoy?
Do you feel like you have enough support from the people around you?
Are you feeling overwhelmed or stressed out about anything in particular?
Have you been eating healthy and nutritious foods?
Do you feel like you have a good balance between school, activities, and free time?
Is there anything you’re looking forward to or excited about in the near future?
These questions are designed to be open-ended and fun, encouraging children to reflect on their feelings and take a moment to check in with themselves. By normalizing conversations about mental health, we can help children develop good habits and coping strategies to support their wellbeing.
