It’s a well-known fact that the college transition can be a rocky one, and the first year or two of college is sometimes when depression first appears.
We’ll talk about a few mental health problems and light red flag warnings in this post and address others in future posts.
As long as their ‘grown up’ kids need more as long as, hey, they have new and awesome games!
The second is after the holidays.
When the honeymoon period wears off and stress is mounting, the first is mostly about six weeks into school. As a result, in the course of the school year, I’ve noticed two blips in the acuity of my younger patients. Kids all gathered in a separate room and should play daily for a few hours.
Since plenty of kids do better during summer and similar vacation times, at first I wondered why.
I realized a typical history in the course of the holidays should be that friends or relatives were visiting, and would often bring over new video games.
Adults are happy as long as the kids are out of their hair, and the kids are having fun with their cousins, happily sharing their new electronic toys. Did you know that the kids are typically on betterthanusual behavior since company’s around, and loads of us know that there is genuine excitement and camaraderie surrounding holiday festivities. Therefore this may go on for a couple of days. Do you know an answer to a following question. It’s a well-known fact that the scene? The serious issue appears when school begins again. Has trouble organizing themselves, or struggles with focusing on schoolwork, these tend to worsen after the holidays if video game sessions are involved, So in case your child is prone to meltdowns. While crying spells, or immediately falling behind in school, when school resumes, they are thrust back into a situation where higher expectations are placed on them, and this can trigger everything from increased oppositional/defiant behaviors.
It’s all good, right?!
Challenge yourself and your family to a ‘non electronic’ holiday season, if you notice a pattern like that.
Card games, like spoons, can be played by a couple of kids at once. Make sure you do not cave eventually one child picks up the ball and starts to organize a game or activity, they may grumble. Pull out and dust off the board games, or buy a couple new ones as gifts. Anyway, if you simply tell the kids. Now let me tell you something. Holiday season, without school and no homework, provides an ideal time to give their growing brains a break. Needless to say, when opportunities present themselves to take a clean break, you will never regret seizing them, It’s impossible to get away from technology. This is where it starts getting really interesting.

I often hear how the child needs to use the computer for school work, when I tell parents their child needs a ‘severalweek’ break from all electronic screens.
