Can a four year old suffer depression?
Since last two weeks my 4 year old daughter been acting little odd. She starts crying over very small things. Many a times she gets up crying in the morning. Keeps thinking about something and sometimes starts crying. She'll make statements like I don't know how to do my homework Pappa. Or ask why I'm a not growing up fast. She gets disappointed very quickly over her inabilities to do certain things. Not sure what's going on with her. I may sound paranoid but is she suffering from depression? Is there anything like that in 4 year old kids?
