Search CHILD CARE - CHILDHOOD DEPRESSION Back Childhood Depression It is Real and It is Treatable Depression is a serious health problem that affects people of all ages, including children and adolescents. Depression is the persistent experience of a sad or irritable mood and the loss of interest or pleasure in nearly all activities. These feelings are accompanied by a range of additional symptoms, affecting appetite and sleep, activity level and concentration, and feelings of self-worth. Clinical depression is more than just "feeling blue" or having a bad day. And it’s different from the feelings of grief or sorrow that might follow a major loss, such as a death in the family. It’s not a personal weakness or a character flaw. Individuals suffering from clinical depression cannot simply "snap out of it." Depression is a form of mental illness that affects the whole body—it impacts the way one feels, thinks, and acts. Depression in children can lead to school failure, alcohol or other drug use, and even suicide. Know the Signs: Persistent sadness and hopelessness Withdrawal from friends and activities once enjoyed Increased irritability or agitation Changes in eating and sleeping habits (e.g. significant weight loss, or insomnia)

WW-07268 Reviewed 1998 Finding Child Care: Getting Started Joan Sprain, Reviewed by Ron Pitzer Finding the best child care for your family's needs is an important parenting task. You need to know what your goals are, as well as what options are available in order to make the best decision. This can take a lot of time and energy. You want to be sure to investigate all the options. Even before you actually become a parent, you should begin to search out quality child care, especially since finding care for infants can be difficult. Step One: What Are Your Family's Needs? Your first step is to decide on your family's child care needs. Before contacting any caregiver, decide how many hours you need the care and the total amount you can pay for it. You should also decide on the location you need. Your child's age, personality, and any other special needs should be considered, along with your own child-rearing philosophy and goals. Step Two: What Are Your Options? Your second step is to identify the child care options that best meet your needs. These may include in-home care, family day care, center care, and short-term cooperatives and preschools. (For more information, see the fact sheet entitled "Child Care: What Are My Options." It's a good idea to visit a few different care sites with your children. This will give you a better idea of the choices available. Step Three: Begin Your Search Now you're ready to begin your search for child care. You can start looking first by telling family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and other acquaintances that you will need child care. Many parents prefer this more personal way. It can be helpful to hear other parents' experiences and recommendations. Finding part-time care (1-6 hours) for nonworking times when you just need some time away may be easier through tips from other people. You may also find legal unlicensed care (where the caregiver cares for children from only one other family) and in-home care through talking to other parents.

That means, more children than ever before are in some kind of childcare setting for all or part of each day. Therefore, the availability of quality childcare is not only important for maintaining a strong workforce; it is vital for the healthy growth and development of children. Studies show that quality early care and education help children achieve greater success academically and socially once they enter school. In addition, out-of-school-time programs reduce the risk factors often noted when children are left unsupervised when school is not in session. As a result, CCS has a number of responsibilities that include the following:
