Psychologist shows how
to spot disturbed child
Dear Libby:
I was reading some very
interesting and shocking
material that a psychiatrist
who treats teenagers and
smaller children had
compiled. I thought it may
well be worth printing. We
as parents must heed to the
needs of our children. The
environment we as parents
make for our children has a
lot to do with their
behavior and the type of
person he becomes as an
adult.
Here are some of the ways
he listed to spot a child
that may be emotionally
disturbed and could use
treatment.
1. Getting along with family
members.
2. getting along with
friends.
3. How he is doing in school.
4. How he is doing after
school.
5. Any anti-social, self
destructive or bizare way
of behaving.
Also Why Kids Commit
Suicide: A lot of children as
young as five have
committed suicide. They
did it to punish their
families. They will do it by
deliberately running in
front of a car. Children
will hang themselves. At
125 they will take poison or
an overdose of drugs or cut
their wrist. We delude our
selves if we think children
have no notion of death and
no capacity to choose it
over life.
No one wants to talk about
it and the statistics are
difficult to find. But this
silence about a growing
problem of children
committing suicides must
be broken. They didn’t have
a forethought of knowing
their is a solution other
than suicide. Therefore, we
must have more patiences
and understanding with
them when we observe
they are having a problem.
We must be more objective
and not be so critical
because their problems are
just as big to them as ours
are to us. They need a

friend or a psychiatrist that
they can open to. The
problem must be discussed
or it will be overwhelming
to the child.
Suicides at an early age
occur because the child is
insecure and has been
humiliated or frustrated.

This is a very interesting
