How to treat childhood depression?
Depression occurs when, in a situation of character formation and self-determination, the child is constantly confronted with a reality.
Children can develop an endogenous or exogenous depression, depending on the reasons that cause them to become depressed.

The language in children can tell us how confident they feel, how safe they are to be accepted by the environment they are in, this can make them produce more neurotransmitters that allow them to feel more stimulated.
Detecting depression, this lack of balance is essential to give value to something that gives happiness, since psychological health is the basis, the central axis around which we relate, since a healthy mind has a healthy body, generates a style of healthier life and it definitely transforms the person into someone independent.
It is important to be clear that as educators we can learn to discern that depression can be prevented in children if it is first determined that the person who educates and wants to help does not have depression. Always remember that children have a very close bond with the person who is gaining their trust, then it is a responsibility that children can identify and very clearly with those attitudes and skills.
Childhood depression is largely latent, but it is not about finding guilty, it is about finding solutions to real problems.
What happens to the child when he is in depression?
The rhythm of life has changed a lot and receiving love is fundamental, it is something that must be taken into account, because in the growth stage it is essential to feel and be in joy.

It is essential to work and pay special attention to red lights, indicators that something is happening and must do so in time.
What help does the educator provide?

- Get to dissipate the guilt.
How do children feel hurt when there is depression?
Children from an early age show a combination of what their genes are and what their parenting factors are. Children learn not only from the genetic load, but also from the patterns of behavior that are offered to them. One thing is the character that develops and another is the temperament.
Sometimes, these should be released and avoided because they become adults dominated by these genes, since they are not trained in their character, so eventually those things do not like them and cause:
- The irritability.
- Hopelessness.
- The pessimism.
- The negativity.
How do we realize that something is normal or not in the child and that it is part of his stage?
Many times, the teacher sees attitudes in children that we generally think is a whim, and on the contrary, the child is handling something emotionally, but as his brain is a bit immature and his neurocognitive abilities are not precarious, the child manifests in what he can do.

But what is it that he can do, as manifested?
- With the screams.
- Always fleeing.
- In the most primitive way: scratch, kick, hit or remain isolated.
Depression occurs in children who are not accompanied, in those who are not tolerated. But to educate means or implies that it is necessary to accompany the child so that he independently carries out his life.
Activities that will serve to determine the depression and, therefore, will allow acting in time for the personal and emotional improvement of the children.
Depression tends to put children in unpleasant states that have to do with aggression and sadness, this can be manifested by any behavior or by the factors around them.
The creation of stories. To determine if a child is going through a depression, doing activities to create stories will greatly help to verify what the state in which the child is located.
This activity can be done on intermediate days, in this way you can compare the old stories with the new ones and address the feeling of that story.
Children are very expressive, through writing, this will be a good resource to carry it out, because, for reasons that are beyond their control, they do not know how to do it. But giving life to that depression in history will be much easier to clarify and avoid.
History will be the facilitating and determining resource of whether it is a serious depression or something temporary. In the same way it is necessary to attend the case, with specialists in the field.
It is important to know how to distinguish the hormonal and physical changes, from the temperament, since in the period of growth children adapt to their being, to their thoughts of what they are and what they want.
All people influence in one way or another in the lives of children, so it is necessary to keep in mind that children need a figure of love, respect and positive and optimistic authority.

Hello, thank you very much, I always try to contribute something meaningful and helpful.
This is a good article for adults to learn how to identify children who are going through depression so that they can receive the attention needed.

It is important to be attentive and not to attack the child, because sometimes the adult does not understand what the child is going through, and when the child does not know how to speak or manifest it, this situation worsens.
It is shocking to me what kids go through these days, at such young ages - very good article -resteeming
Hello, it seems incredible to believe it, but today's children tend to go through depressions that, however small they may seem, can become a big problem. In many cases it is temporary in others they really are not, and that is when we must be vigilant and the strategies to verify it are important.
