Childhood depression
When our younger children suffer from depression or prolonged sadness parents can begin to feel overwhelmed and powerless to help them. This is the forum to share ideas, find support and help put that smile back on their face.

How do you build up a young girl's self-esteem?
Mikki, I'm so glad to hear that Morgan is making some progress in managing her fears. She is such a precious soul. I whole heartedly believe that as an adult she will channel her compassion and her ability to feel others' pain into making a difference in her community.

How Can I help My 8 year old feel happy inside?
My 8 year old daughter has always been a little too smart for her age and carried many adult worries on her shoulders. For example when she was only 3 she began to fear death and what would happen to her family when she died. At age 4 she began to fear aging, getting wrinkles and not being able to get around very good. Beginning at age 6 she developed a severe separation anxiety from anyone in the house, fearing if they left home without her they might die while they were gone and she would never see them again.
