Ig: baby.pocketbisou — follow and interact with my posts <3This is for caregivers with littles who suffer from depression
please please don't force or pressure them to talk about it, sometimes they just want to be left alone. always let them know you're there for them but if they don't want to talk about it don't make them.
if you can, engage them in small activities to improve their mood, such as watching a comfort movie or playing a simple game, or doing things together that don't take a lot of energy. this is really good as they can feel at peace knowing you're there
sometimes depression can lead to your little not taking care of themselves which is common. if you do have rules in place, don't make it a rule that they have to shower or clean up, this is really bad as it can make them depressed even more and feel like they're letting you down when they have no motivation. if you arent long-distance you can visit them and help take care of them with things such as cleaning etc. if you are, send them encouraging messages to let them know nothing is wrong with having no motivation and they aren't a bad person in any way but do encourage them to take care off themselves
depending on how your little is they may struggle to regress so helping them regress is always good as they can enter their own comfort space and take a break for a while <3
finally, always let them know you're proud of them regardless, your opinion means a lot to them <3
