₹350 weight-loss injection? Semaglutide is not a magic fix for children or teens. Weight gain is often linked to diet, screen time, inactivity, sleep, and emotional health. Use only under medical supervision. Focus on healthy habits and consult a pediatrician. #ChildHealth

And if a child talks about self-harm or not wanting to live, seek urgent professional help immediately.
Early support from parents and teachers can save a child from suffering silently.

[Dr. Rajeev Seth @sethrajeev_Dr]

Depression in children does not always look like sadness.
Sometimes it looks like:
-Staying quiet and withdrawn
-Avoiding school or friends
-Sudden drop in grades
-Losing interest in favorite activities
-Saying “I’m useless” or “I don’t want to live”
Parents and teachers,

[Dr. Rajeev Seth @sethrajeev_Dr]

please don’t ignore these signs or label a child as “lazy” or “overreacting.”
What a child needs most is a safe space, a listening ear, and emotional support.

Sit with them privately. Listen without judgment. Reassure them that they are loved, valued, and not alone.

[Dr. Rajeev Seth @sethrajeev_Dr]

I want to help.

[Dr. Rajeev Seth @sethrajeev_Dr]

Bullying is not “just teasing.”
It can deeply affect a child’s mental health, confidence, studies, and emotional wellbeing.

If your child suddenly:
-Avoids school
-Complains of headaches or stomach pain
-Loses interest in studies
-Shows mood changes or falling grades

[Dr. Rajeev Seth @sethrajeev_Dr]

please don’t ignore the signs.

Instead of saying
“Be positive” or “You’re just lazy,”
take a moment to listen calmly and privately.
Sometimes, one safe conversation with a caring adult can change a child’s life.

Let children know:
You are not alone. I care about you.

भारत में इतनी धूप… फिर भी बच्चों में Vitamin D की कमी?

जी हाँ!
India में 70-80% बच्चों में Vitamin D levels कम पाए जाते हैं।
कारण? Indoor lifestyle, कम outdoor play, ज्यादा screen time और खराब खान-पान।

Vitamin D की कमी से बच्चों में हो सकती हैं: कमजोर हड्डियाँ
-Rickets

[Dr. Rajeev Seth @sethrajeev_Dr]

-Low mood & attention issues
-बार-बार बीमार पड़ना
-धीमी growth

समाधान बहुत आसान है
-रोज 20-30 मिनट धूप में खेलना
-दूध, अंडे और Vitamin D rich foods खाना
-जरूरत पड़े तो डॉक्टर से सलाह लेना

छोटी आदतें, बच्चों की बड़ी सेहत

-No scrolling during meals
-No social media one hour before sleep

Digital discipline is not punishment. It is emotional protection.

[Dr. Rajeev Seth @sethrajeev_Dr]

Your child is not “just scrolling.
For many children and teenagers, social media has become their report card — where likes, followers, looks, clothes, vacations, and friendships decide their self-worth.
And when the likes are less… many children feel rejected, anxious,

[Dr. Rajeev Seth @sethrajeev_Dr]

or emotionally low.
Instead of only saying:
-Stop using Instagram”
Start asking:
-How do you feel after using social media?
-Does it affect your mood or sleep?
-Do you compare yourself to others online?

Simple boundaries can make a big difference:
-No phones in bedrooms

[Dr. Rajeev Seth @sethrajeev_Dr]

Many people carrying thalassemia look completely healthy… and may never know it.

But if both parents are carriers, a child can be born with Thalassemia Major — a condition that may require lifelong blood transfusions and continuous medical care.

[Dr. Rajeev Seth @sethrajeev_Dr]

These simple tests can help detect thalassemia carrier status early and support informed family planning decisions.
This World Thalassemia Day, let’s spread awareness, encourage early screening, and protect the next generation.
