[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a really toxic country and are inundated with information about horrible things that happen here and abroad. People who are all sorts of "-phobic" have larger platforms now to spew hate at people who don't deserve it and should be allowed to just live. I can't imagine not experiencing some depression in this environment, unless you're entirely checked out and not paying attention. And the children have no reason to believe any of this will improve during their lives. It's just a dark but true reality. [/quote] You need to read both Learned Optimism and The Anxious Generation. Attitudes like this take everything cognitive behavioral therapy teaches people [b]to[/b] do and does the reverse. So yes, of course you're making kids depressed when you teach them to view the world like this. But it doesn't have to be this way.[/quote]
