Anxiety and Depression in Children and Youth

[SweetSue92]

.....is way on the rise, as we've been hearing for years. As a veteran (and soon to be retired) teacher, I have three remedies parents could implement immediately (for what it's worth):

--Get your kids outside, preferably exercising, DAILY as much as possible.

--Get your kids OFF THE DEVICES, or at least strictly monitor the time they spend on them.

--Implement a family dinner time every night possible. No devices at dinner. It doesn't have to be fancy. Just eat as a family.

I really think if families could do these three things, kids would be a lot more mentally sound.

What are your ideas?

The rise of psychiatric meds in children raises questions about the long-term impact, skill development, and societal standards. Are we treating illness or enforcing conformity?

For the last ten years or so, the first three weeks of school are almost like a detox period. Sad, but true.

Stop telling them lies about their imaginary friend in the sky. Then they won't grow up confused about science. And there will be far fewer of them being climate science denialists as-holes.

Just tell them that science is the study of God's creation. Best of both worlds.

Kids had the same problems when I was in school but had more self-control. Also, we ate just as much sugar. The problem kids have is the same as adults have, a spirit of rebellion.

Unbelievable that people have to be convinced that sunshine is good for kids.

We kept our kids away from video games as much as possible, and it had a very positive effect.

Just last night we were eating with friends we've known for years, and a couple that they invited. The couple told us that they had asked their 18 yo son what he wanted for dinner and he was dismissive of the food mom makes ("that processed stuff") and said he would eat out (on money they had given him, of course).

Then the couple got the invite and while driving to the restaurand texted their son that they were eating out. Son texted back angry that they had not invited him to eat out with them. "Make me understand how that's right!"

Our kids were that age ten years ago and they would have never said any of that. Not on their worst day. They argued with us, plenty, but never about what we provided. When they wanted more, they went out and earned it. Since they got jobs, they won't let us pick up a check at a restaurant.

Because we did not let them get used to instant gratification by living on their devices.

We are in the social phase where, like our retreat from Vietnam and Afghanistan, we need to manage our defeat better.

Just tell them that science is the study of God's creation. Best of both worlds.

That has a lot to do with their problems. They're told that both creation and evolution is true, but they instinctively know that one choice is all lies.

The churches should have never blown the whistle on accepting Darwin's evolution! The public schools are spreading the truth!

Their parents have set the bar low on telling religious lies. There's no standard that tells a teenager to not shoot his lib'rul classmate!

As kids both my older brother and younger sister were fussy eaters, not solely because of the food but because it was an opportunity for them act out. I happily ate everything that was presented at the dinner table. They carried this discontent into their adult lives as well. Both are long gone and I'm still alive and still very content.

No matter. Even if kids believe in God, it wouldn't change their minds or behavior. Just because you believe in God doesn't mean that you believe God.

It makes a difference. Christians commit violent crimes including murder, more frequently than atheists.

What can explain that behavioural difference? It may not be the lies they are told about there being a god?

True Christians don't murder people.

Giving people choices and authority creates anxiety and stress. A basic phenomenon when you learn management. We all feel stressed making decisions. Kids were told in times gone by, but the "experts" and "fragile" knew better. So it's here to stay.

 

[Donald H]

True Christians don't murder people.

That could be true, but the murderers identify as Christians.

That then begs the question on how many who claim to be Christians, really are?

5%?

Can we make an estimate based on this board's Christians. What % will proclaim that their bibles are completely the true word of the god?

God allows the "tares" to remain in the church until the judgment. However, just as the differences appear when the plants mature false Christians can't hide their true identity forever. Eventually they reveal themselves.

It's a problem Ter, and you know it. No matter what your personal beliefs will be, you're forced into telling yur students lies.

It's either the 'god' lies,

or

the evolution lies.

The teachers are adults that can understand what they're forced to say and do. (yes forced either and both ways)

But 21st. century children are too smart to not know they're being lied to. They will eventually attempt to confront the lies and the liars. Some in your classes with guns.

Which are the liles that you're forced to tell the children? Is it the evolution lies or the creation lies?

It's not a teacher's job to explain or 'explain away' religion to their students.
