AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Some children go through stressful things. Some have faced loss, trauma, or hardships. Some go through serious health conditions. These things can lead to sadness or grief-and sometimes to depression.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kids who suffer from daytime anxieties-about school, separation from parents, or other concerns-are more likely to fear the dark and fear sleeping alone (Gregory and Eley 2005). You may be able to reduce your child’s nighttime fears by helping him cope with daytime stress.

Detailed explanation-3: -Depression signs in children include feeling ‘down’ or cranky for long periods and losing interest in things they normally enjoy. Professional treatment and support can help children get better faster and avoid future mental health problems. Family love and support helps children recover from depression.
