How can depressed parents accentuate the positive with their children?
Focus on your own parenting strengths and on your child or teenager’s strengths. This can help you, depressed or otherwise, accentuate the positive with your children. One way parents can start “accentuating the positive” is by acknowledging and praising the things that their children do well. Look for ways to maximize your children’s opportunities to succeed, and facilitate interactions that both your children and you can feel good about.
