Ear infections are one of the most common illnesses seen in a pediatrician’s office.
The Children’s Wisconsin Center for Child Development focuses on integrated health services for children with developmental diagnoses.
Raising a teenager is a big adventure! It is a time when your child is growing up fast, and their feelings can be all over the place. At Children’s Wisconsin, our pediatric mental health specialists are here to help you understand what is normal, what is great, and what might need a little extra attention when it comes to your teen's feelings and moods. To help you make sense of your teen’s behaviors, I would like to share some things to watch for as you continue to encourage their overall well-being.
Experiencing one or more of these “red flags” does not necessarily mean your child has a mental health disorder. However, if you believe your teen may be developing a problem, every Children’s Wisconsin office and clinic has mental and behavioral health providers on staff. On the other hand, if you believe the issue your teen is having needs help now, our mental health walk-in clinics in Milwaukee and Kenosha can see them right away, with no appointment or referral necessary. No issue is too big or too small.
Your love and support mean the world to your teen, even if they do not always show it. By talking with them, being there for them, and keeping an eye out for these signs, you are helping them grow into a happy, healthy adult. Remember, it is okay to ask for help if you or your teen need it. We are all in this together!
Staff supporting mental and behavioral health care at Children’s Wisconsin includes experts in the fields of child and adolescent psychiatry, pediatric psychology, neuropsychology and psychotherapy.
