Gold says strong communication is the first step toward doing mental health days the right way.
"I grew up in a time where kids were seen and not heard, and mental health wasn't a 'thing,'" the mom says."And my mom is a retired registered nurse, she knows mental health is a thing, but it still wasn't the same in our household. So I just want to stress — communicate with your kids." Hotaling says another strategy is asking kids to rate their day on a scale of one-ten. Most will opt for six or seven, he says, and rarely give themselves a ten or a one; he recommends looking out for when students start giving consistently lower numbers, like threes."If you have one day off, it should not be exclusively spent sleeping," Gold says.
