Emotionally Healthy Children Mental health and kids and raising emotionally healthy children has been on my mind lately. I was up late the other other night flipping through Pinterest when I came across an article that struck a cord with me. Then I saw a recent post about a pastor that had taken his own life after battling with depression and anxiety leaving a beautiful wife and two boys.
