Recognizing a Cry for Help: The Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

BODY - THE SIGNS TO WATCH FOR]

So let’s talk about the signs you must never ignore —
 because your child may not say “I need help” out loud,
 but their behavior will whisper it to you.

1. Withdrawal from family and friends
    – Your once-chatty child is now silent.
    – They cancel plans, avoid eye contact, and prefer isolation.
2. Changes in eating or sleeping patterns
    – Skipping meals? Sleeping too much? Restless nights?
    These are red flags we often excuse.
3. Sudden drop in performance
    – Whether it’s school or hobbies — if they’ve lost interest or motivation, something deeper might be going on.
4. Irritability or extreme mood swings
    – Anger, frustration, or sudden tears? These are emotional releases of inner pain.
5. Talking negatively about themselves
    – “I’m useless.” “No one likes me.” “I mess everything up.”
    These statements are not attention-seeking.
   They’re pain-revealing.
6. Physical complaints with no clear cause
    – Headaches, stomachaches, fatigue — often tied to emotional stress.
7. Subtle cries like ‘I’m tired of everything’ or ‘I don’t care anymore’
    – Listen closely. These aren’t random remarks. They’re coded distress.
