From the ancient times, children have served as the symbols of peace, innocence, unity, love, purity and many other related concepts. They were completely alien to the adult way of living. There was an intentional effort, from the adults to keep the children away from their ways of life, so they were more often than not, completely oblivious to the trails and tribulations that their parents had to go through. Their lives were restricted to school, friends, home and certain recreational activities only.

However drastic changes have come in with the ever changing ways of life of a modern man. Nowadays children are susceptible to different kinds of mental and emotional complexities unlike their earlier counterparts. With the increased exposure of children to media and with the increase in child related crimes, children have ceased to be the carefree epitome of peace and mental harmony that they were thought to be in the earlier times.

It’s indeed a very sad scenario, and it’s really a heart wrenching fact that today even children are falling prey to the vice called DEPRESSION. It’s shocking I admit but never the less it’s true. More and more children are falling prey to depression especially in the developed countries. Modern way of life, increase in the number of working mothers, over exposure to media, loss of a dear one, lack of confidence, inability to confide in others are some of the major causes of depression in children.

It’s very difficult to diagnose depression in children merely because they themselves are not aware that they are going through it. Children of the working parents are at a greater risk of getting depression due to insecurity. In this case sometimes parents also fail to notice the of late abnormalities in their child owing to their busy schedule. Hence the problem multiplies inside the child until it gains a massive proportion. Depression affected children mostly remain secluded from others but this doesn’t necessarily mean that they would not laugh or enjoy under given circumstances. However a momentary instance of laughter should not be taken as a positive sign. As soon as the moment passes by, the signs of depression set in.

In order to free children from the clutches of depression it’s required that the parents, especially the working parents, devote some time to their children on a daily basis. Besides keeping the child depression free it would also enable them to spot any abnormality if at all developing within their child(ren).

If you are a parent nothing should be more important than your child but still if you are always short of time here’s a way out for you. Get your child checked up by a good physician and follow his instructions fully. If he prescribes anti-depressive drugs like xanax tranquilizers for your child, remember to buy the correct dosage as per the xanax prescription. Xanax is a habit forming medicine and hence it is important to consume it in the amounts and periods for which it has been prescribed. It is better to buy xanax from your known local chemist but if you are short of time getting xanax online is a good answer. If you follow the instructions accurately and if you are quick in spotting the signs of depression you can save your child from the strong grip of depression.

I am in my second year of college, while my 16-yr old brother is still in high school. My parents like to go out with their friends pretty much every weekend for a really long time. I think it’s neglect. I just feel bad for my brother who has to deal with them. He has a tennis match tomorrow, which my parents never go to. Yet, they’re willing to get up early and drive 2 hours away to Cincinnati to drink with their friends and stay over night, while leaving my brother to fend for himself. Is this ok? I’ve told them that they are neglecting him and such, but I just got yelled out for questioning their parenting skills basically. What should be done. Not to mention, this isn’t the first time. They tend to not care about anything we do, I’m just glad I’m in college away from them.
My dad’s reasons were…”when I was twelve I was on my own.” that kind of answer makes me sick to my stomach.

Also, they gave a away our dog for the second time last week. I told them numerous times never to get a dog if they were ever gonna give it away again. The last one they gave away was less then two years. I still can’t forgive them. They did not have valid reasons either. My dad lied the first time by saying his friends would only borrow my dog, I never saw her again. Second time, they got a puppy for my brother. It ended up being “too difficult” for them to take care of. I already warned them. I also told them just to take care of the new puppy for a few more months because I can’t take him to college with me right now because I live in a dorm.
Also, after they gave the dog away. I stopped calling them. That’s all I did. Don’t I have the right to be angry? They considered it as hatred and told all their friends that I was basically self-centered and told me to grow up. Then, they threatened me by saying I should be independent and pay for my own education because it was too much for them. (Totally false because my parents have good jobs and we’re no where near debt. I seem to be at my wits end. Thank you for all the replies.
they just weren’t patient enough in training the dog. we built this new house without carpet downstairs, so accidents in the house weren’t a problem. my mom would just be annoyed at having to let the dog out when my brother was at school. he couldn’t just go home and skip class, plus my mom only works part time. i even came home as often as a i could to help take care of him. and the puppy was even going outside when he was supposed to. but it’s a puppy, they can’t hold it in all day long.

I say Lufti and Mamma are jockeying for a dollar cut…

Co-parenting may not come naturally to you, particularly if you’re a high-conflict couple or you’re still recovering from the nastiness of a divorce. Divorced parents need to make a concerted effort to keep their conflicts with each other separate from their relationship as co-parents to their child.

Every year, 1 million U.S. kids become children of divorce. In settling child custody issues, their parents are likely to hammer out co-parenting agreements – committing to working together to raise their kids in spite of a divorce or separation. But co-parenting has its challenges. In the second part of our series of occasional articles on co-parenting, we look at how to make the transition from separated couple to parenting team.

Working together to help your child grow into a happy, confident and well-adjusted adult is something that all parents should aspire to. But it’s not something that comes easily to newly divorced or separated parents, or even to parents who were living apart in the first place.

It takes hard work to craft a “”co-parenting”" relationship that enables parents to cooperate in a way that benefits their child. As separated or divorced parents, you choose to live apart because you can’t see eye to eye on many things, and it’s unreasonable to expect that you’ll be able to immediately step away from all of that and become a cheery, friendly, co-parenting couple.

It can take months or years to forge a new relationship as parents together. But no matter how long it takes – or how difficult it is – finding a way to cooperate together as parents ultimately does pay off.

Keep your child uppermost in mind

Divorce or separation is devastating for children. It’s normal for them to experience anger, sadness, helplessness, fear and withdrawal.

8 cardinal rules of co-parenting

In order for co-parenting to succeed, there are some important rules that all co-parents should follow:

1. Do not use your child as a go-between.

2. Do not discuss your feelings about the other parent with your child.

3. Always remember that your child needs time with both of you to grow up healthy and happy.

4. If possible, never argue in front of your child.

5. Be flexible whenever possible.

6. Think of parenting time as benefiting your child, not you or the other parent.

7. Envision yourself and the other parent as a team.

8. If you are the residential parent, include the other parent as much as possible.

It is impossible for you as a parent to fully protect your child from the impact of the divorce. Your family has changed, and you have to expect that your child will need time to adjust. But the way that you and the other parent handle the change of a divorce, and the years following it, has a huge impact on the kind of experience it is for your child.

The purpose of your divorce was likely to end the fighting, to improve how you both feel, and to create happier lives for everyone. If you go through the divorce, only to continue arguing and fostering unpleasant feelings toward the other parent, you haven’t made a lot of improvements in your family’s life.

You can’t give your child proper support and attention if you and the other parent are always focused on what the other is doing wrong, or if you continue to dredge up bad feelings from your relationship as a couple.

Developing a new relationship that is low-conflict, pleasant on the surface, and routine will help your child relax and begin to feel more comfortable with the new arrangement. You will be able to focus more directly on your child’s needs. Your child will function better if she knows that there are two parents united behind her.

Learn how to think

Learning to co-parent means making a mental shift in the way you think about the other person. This is a person who has undoubtedly hurt you, let you down, insulted you, or worked against you in your relationship. It may seem like a tall order to set that aside and smilingly co-parent together.

You need to mentally compartmentalize your relationship with the other parent. In one room, put all of your feelings about him or her as your partner or spouse. All the hurt and anger from a divorce goes behind that door. You can go into that room whenever you need to, to work through those feelings.

In another room goes your relationship with this person as a parent. In this room, there is a table where you can sit and work together to create a good life for your child. On the walls are photos of your child in happy moments. This is the room you must place yourself in mentally when you are dealing with the other parent in a parenting situation.

This compartmentalizing is something you must commit to doing. It may be hard to sit in one room in your mind, while you know that the other room is next door. But you must direct your attention to cooperating and welcoming the other parent into your child’s life so your child can have the benefit of two parents who are reasonable, pleasant and accommodating to each other.

Now young conservative say your prayers so that when you grow up you can lie, steal, cheat, and murder your way through life.

Good night my little one.
