Early childhood mental health refers to the ability of children to experience, control, and express their emotions; form close and secure relationships; and learn while exploring their environment. These abilities are fostered and grow within the context of a positive caregiving environment. Children’s communities also play a large role in their mental health.

Why is early childhood mental health important?
Mental and physical health is interconnected in so many ways. Young children need to develop skills that will help them be mentally and physically healthy throughout their lives. Developing these skills can help to prevent chronic illnesses and behavioural, learning, and mental health problems later in life. These skills will also help children adapt to transitions and stress in their lives, including school.
