Mood Management

Here are some tips to help manage your child's moods:

• Set a consistent sleeping routine that allows for sufficient rest every night.
• Avoid stressful situations and activities for your child.
• Learn to read warning signs of your child's manic and depressive moods.
• Regulate your child's activities during a manic episode and provide gentle yet stimulating activities (like swimming) during depressive episodes to keep him/her occupied.
• Prepare a nutritious and balance diet. Avoid too much sugar and caffeine.
