1 in 6 kids between the ages of 6 and 17 experience a mental health disorder each year .
Acceptance of mental health days can help eliminate the stigma that often comes with mental illness.
Utah passed a bill in 2018 that allows a "mental health day " to count as an excused absence from school.
Avoidance feels good in the moment but fuels anxiety in the long run, so parents and kids have to be aware of how the idea can be misused and unintentionally make certain mental health issues worse.
The bottom line is that kids need breaks sometimes. It's OK to acknowledge when they've hit a limit and pause to recoup their strength.
