Reducing Parental Depression's Impact on Children

Parental depression increases children's risk for emotional, social, and cognitive difficulties. But, as the L.A. Times reports, new research indicates that parents can significantly reduce those effects by providing children with plenty of attention, helping children develop positive coping skills and a sense of self-efficacy, and teaching them not to blame themselves for the parents' depression.
