- Q. Now what would be the thoughts of Teen B? would he be in stress? A cant say. Because we still need to watch the duration of sadness or negative thoughts. Q. Now we need to understand how to figure out if the child is in stress or this is just pass by situation? A. Every introvert child has a joy activity which he /she performs, while he/she is alone. As per my experience most of the time it is painting. This joy activity can be helpful and provide us the alarming signs if the teen is facing issues, how? Read below: When the teen is happy the painting or drawing will be full of colours , life, shining sun, green plants, mountains and so on and so forth. But if he/she is sad, it will become dark, black, without life, sadness everywhere. If we as care takers (parents, teachers etc.) have watched the teens activity then we can make out the changes or difference in the daily life of the teen and figure out if he is in issues or not.
- Q. Does it Look like first level of depression? A. Yes.
