      First Aid for Your Emotional Hurts - Dr. Edward E Moody Jr.

      HELPING CHILDREN WITH EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS

      And Jesus asked his father, "How long has this been

      happening to him? And he said, From childhood. And it

      has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him.

      But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and

      help us. And Jesus said to him, ’If you can’! All things are

      possible for one who believes." Immediately the father of

      the child cried out and said, I believe; help my unbelief!

      Mark 9:21-24

      Long ago a father approached Jesus in desperation. He was concerned about the well-being of his child. He did not understand the problems that his child experienced and was fearful about his future. He asked Jesus for help but he feared nothing could be done. Can you relate? Perhaps you are the parent, grandparent, aunt or guardian of a child who is struggling with an emotional problem. You’ve searched for answers. You’ve looked for those who might help. At this moment you don’t know what to do or where to go. Many children experience emotional hurts like anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. These problems, left unaddressed, can result in lifelong difficulties. This booklet is designed to get you started in the right direction by helping you learn more about common childhood emotional disorders. The more you know about the issue impacting the child you are trying to help the better equipped you will be to help them. We will look at the places you can go to find effective professional help as well as root behaviors that lead to emotional problems. Helpful actions you can take to help a child break a problematic chain of behavior will also be described.

      You are not alone!¹

      10% to 20% of youths (around 15 million in the United States) meet the criteria for a mental health disorder.

      Half of depressed youth are believed to have two or more other diagnosable problems.²

      Children who are depressed are 30 times more likely to also have some type of anxiety disorder.³

      Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have been found to be more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression, and oppositional defiant disorder.⁴

      One Thing Leads to Another

      As you read about these problems you may note that each one has much in common with the other. In fact, emotional problems can have a cascading effect with one problem leading to another.

      For example, childhood obesity is specifically associated with low self-esteem and depression, which are both linked to less engagement in physical activity.⁵ When a child suffers from a problem like obesity, they are more likely to suffer from depression that increases their risk for developing an anxiety disorder or behavioral problems like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Therefore, the longer a problem exists, the more likely it is to lead to more emotional problems.

      For more information about ADHD see First Aid for Your Emotional Hurts: Helping Children with Learning Problems.

      Further, particular root behaviors place one at risk for developing emotional disorders. For example, many children who suffer from depression and eating disorders have a tendency to ruminate about things that trouble them. Depressed youth are at greater risk for suicidal ideation. Rumination is a root problem that will need to be addressed for a child to have lasting improvement. In many ways helping professionals can have a positive impact on the life of a child. However, lasting impact will require a comprehensive approach with active involvement from a parent, grandparent, uncle, aunt or someone close to the child who reinforces the work of helping professionals and is uniquely positioned to have maximum impact upon a root problem a child may have.

      When I was a child my parents had a garden. From time to time I was called upon to remove the weeds from it. I was often tempted to take a hoe and scrape it across the surface of the soil and simply scrape the weeds away without getting at the
