What can be done to help our children with depression? |
I gather more children than ever are suffering from a mental illness. What can be done, in your opinion, to help them? Fewer working mums. Fewer marital breakdowns. More discipline. Less TV. Fewer computers and more real life. Bring back mortgage relief for couples. Tax couples together and give incentives for families to remain together. Give children the opportunity to value the real things about us and understand and appreciate this world. Its because the parents are being more selfish and leaving the children to get on with it. We are parenting less and kicking them out earlier.. We need to nourish and encourage them more. Trust me i know first hand. I had post natal depression after having my 2nd child.. as a result my first child suffered and no i am having to work hard to get him out of it... - more outdoor sports and games...possibly camping rather than computer games and internet chat - family meals rather than dinner alone ease them talk with them comnuicate find whats wrong and find away to help your here to gide your children thru life thru wrties and wrongs and if u seem to be strungling ask for help theres no shame and a child is there for your love and care i hoped this help and it may take time but it will be worth it the end so good day and hope this has gided you in the right direction for what is troubeling you . x I dont think this is a true statistic. I believe that young people know what depression is so are going to the docs to be treated for it. Years ago they would have just put it down to having a down day, now its depression. If it is true however, I think we should ban teen magazines that tell us that we should be skinny and have this, that or the other to be cool. Can you believe they make thongs for girls under 12? I wasnt allowed to wear make up til I was 16, and that wasnt that long ago!! I believe that children need more physical activity than they are currently encouraged to do. Exercise releases endorphins, the substance that enables the brain cells to feel 'happy'. Parents should take their kids out to play, for a walk, start a dance party in the living room. Pull them away from sitting in front of the TV or the computer. Schools should re-instate recess to let them run, use their muscles, and release their endorphins. In children I would prefer to see more Cognitive restructuring going on. At a young age the kind of thinking that leads to depression can be retrained more easily. Also, for children to be depressed they have to have something in their environment that is tipping the balance toward the negative. Because kids on their own will bounce back from a lot of things. So we really need to make sure that adults in their lives or their environment are not exacerbating the problem. And change that environment as soon as possible, through education or if need be through removal from the damaging situation. |
