Baatein Dil ki Season 5,
Episode 10 | ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION
------------
Anxiety and depression in children can be difficult to recognise. What they cannot articulate may surface as changes in behaviour or a quiet struggle that is easily missed.

Sandra Jose, Counselling Psychologist, and Tanvi Chatterjee, Clinical Psychologist, help us distinguish the signs that warrant attention and understand how parents and caregivers can respond with sensitivity and timely support.

Avantika Singh, our host, voices the concerns many parents grapple with when a child seems different but the reasons remain unclear. Watch it, and share it widely to help make the signs easier to recognise and harder to overlook.

The Sleepwell Foundation conducted the Good Touch and Bad Touch Awareness Programme at Navyug School, Moti Bagh, New Delhi, on 22nd July 2026 for 141 students. The workshop created a safe and interactive environment where children learned about personal safety, body autonomy, and healthy boundaries.

Interactive discussions, picture-based activities, and question-answer sessions encouraged enthusiastic participation.

The workshop successfully strengthened children's awareness of body safety, personal boundaries, and protective behaviours. It empowered students with practical life skills, encouraged open communication, reduced hesitation in discussing sensitive issues, and promoted confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being.
