Sylvia & Bob, Vicki & Steve, Jeremy, Josh & Jothan, Greg (Squeak), Courtney, Connor & Maddox, Melody & Joe, Cassidy, Peyton, Addie, Laryn & Trace Parents can often feel hopeless and lost when it comes to helping a child who may be depressed. Here are some tips for talking with teens: • Offer support. Try not to ask too many questions. Teens often have no idea why they feel the way they do and have difficulty ex- pressing their feelings in words. • Be gentle but persis- tent. It can be very uncom- fortable for kids to open up to their parents about per- sonal matters. They may feel ashamed or afraid of be- ing misunderstood. It is very likely they will shut you out at first, but you shouldn't give up. Be gentle with your approach, but don't shut down communication com- pletely. • Listen without lec- turing. Do your best to re- sist the urge to criticize or judge. Be attentive and allow your teen to open up. Meet them where they are, not where you want them to be. • Validate your teen's feelings. Don't try and talk them out of how they feel even if their feelings seem irrational or silly to you. At least acknowledge how they feel so they will keep talking and not shut you out. Parents who heed the warning signs of depres- sion and seek professional help can help protect chil- dren from more serious or even tragic consequences.
