Introduce to the children about their castle.

To make the children understand about their castle.
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
People who suffer from
depression are actually suffering
from attention need.
ABOUT THE TOPIC:
When you are dependent on external sources for energy, you become psychologically handicapped. When you need physical support, you are physically handicapped. When you need psychological support, you are psychologically handicapped. We build our own self-image like a castle, out of people's opinions of us. We collect certificates or signatures from our father, mother, teacher, friends and what not, and arrange all these certificates and build a castle to form our self image. The image will look beautiful and we will feel happy. But if even one person withdraws their certificate, what happens? The castle collapses! You start feeling miserable about yourself. You feel depressed. You feel that the whole world has come to an end.
ABOUT THE TOPIC:
At least in the case of the children, they build their castles with their own cards. But we build our castles with others' cards, with others' certificates! We don't have control over the castle because it is built with other people's certificates. We start working hard in maintaining the castle; in guarding it well. We start behaving in such a way that people don't remove their certificates. We start doing things to get their continuous approval, because their approval has become our very survival. People who suffer from depression are actually suffering from attention-need
