Children are bombarded with all types of emotions, some of them still unknown for them, being sad it’s part of their maturing process, so we must let them express their feelings but not until they reach the extreme, if they are depressed we must act and cheer them up. Or instead we must be opened for talk, to encourage them. Actually, weren’t we like them in the past?
