If a child does not play is a sign of alarm

It is usual that a healthy and happy kid wants to play at any time of day. If we observe that never fails to demonstrate interest in this type of activity, we suspect, according to the psychologist-Marina Martinez Cubells, that:

■ Perhaps in the family there is excessive attention to a problem. That tension faced by small interrupted him his game.

■ If we put a disproportionate number of real stimuli for their age, we limit their desire to fantasize.

■ In the case of observing that it has no interest in investigating, which does not carry out symbolic games and showing passivity, we must consult with the specialist, because it can have an organic alteration or emotional difficulty.

Depression child

The theme of depression at the stage of infancy, is very impressive. All we think that this is a time of happiness and joy permanent, and that the sadness and concern for those who are in childhood, are totally temporary. However, this state is often more frequent every day and a disorder totally poignant because of their serious problems.

It is necessary to distinguish depression as appropriate emotional response to a critical moment, the disease of depression. Any child can go through moments like depressive reaction to losses or changes, what constitutes a normal emotional response. But when this situation becomes chronic and can not be overcome with the passage of time it is an emotional disorder, rather complex.

As symptoms are central irritable mood or sadness, and loss of ability to enjoy. The child is listless, without wanting to nothing, or chronically of malhumor, intolerant and evil character.

Thus, depression manifests itself in a manner masked by various disorders that in turn give a misleading impression and hinder their recognition

Here is a list of these symptoms, so you can recognize this kind of state in small around you:

Decreased self-esteem: the child has a demeaning image of himself, is self-critical, and has a feeling of inferiority.
Loss of interest: the boy is bored is not apathetic have little motivation plays and is always tired.
Withdrawal: It costs linked with the other children, it is not integrated well with their group, tends to isolate itself, chooses solitary activities like watching television too many hours.
Difficulty managing aggression: have frequent fights, tantrums, behavioural disorders, or inhibition of aggression (not quarrel, neither defends nor).
Loss of ability to concentrate: the child disperses far have trouble paying attention. This leads to a decline in school performance.
On sleep disorders: insomnia or hypersomnia presents.
Eating Disorders: lose or increase the appetite or weight.
Somatic symptoms that have no organic cause: the smaller the child, most tend to express their problems through his body. In schoolchildren, are more frequent headaches.

Conversations with your small children

Just as your children walk alongside smaller is the possibility of using the space so affectionate and intelligent, talking with them means a lot more.

The possibility of using the word, is also an achievement of the subject and not just psychological complex activities of the central nervous system.

When a child enters the talks, can symbolically express their wishes. He may then decide yes and no, and thereby begin to define themselves not only through action, but also with the word.

Talk, will allow you to anticipate or delay, to convene in or out, ask or discard. Saying shall nominate, appoint but also omit, silence.

The arrival of language, the symbolization allows small to make hundreds of actions within its head, or will enable thinking.

Every child has its own personality

Since the birth or even earlier you can detect how each child has its own personality.

Faced stimuli, each individual has a certain nervous system that makes it react differently than others, and thus to be detected in all activities that the baby conducts itself throughout the day, from the game until how to eat, how to fall asleep, how to react to the uncomfortable, and how long it takes comfort in others.

Obviously, the fact the game itself, we can also verify that its own personality, for example, if we pay attention, there are those who are cared for, fearful, meticulous, repetitive, those who tire easily, or who do not like change.

During the first months of life, it is possible to detect neurological and functional leading in the future, to psychological disorders.

It is necessary then, a proper study at birth and early life in order to detect possible alterations, as the immediate detection and treatment in question, may be critical to avoid possible psychological disorders in the future, since it is rare that in the first months of life are given psychological disorders.
