Q.1) would first analyse the main cause behind her/his illness and with the help of psychiatry and counsellor would try to solve their problem with love and care.
ReplyDeleteQ.2)I would explained to them that mental illness should never be a laughing matter rather it should be deal with love ,care and friendly nature.
1. I would first think of what could be the reason and try not to treat her differently rather help her in all way I could so that she feels happy. If possible I will make sure to help her with the things that psychologist ask me to do. If my friend openly speaks up to me it would be better for me to analyze and help.
ReplyDelete2. I will explain them that every child is different in their way and posses certain positive and negative things which is not to be made fun of rather help that person to cope up like others and be kind friend who encourages and motivates each other. Also will try to collect information about that particular child's behaviour in each period to know what could be the problem and find a way in which as a teacher I can help.
1. I would first make my friend comfortable so that she can come and talk to me about her mental health without any embarassment. Because i feel most people do not talk freely on their mental health because they feel they will be judged and will be made fun of. I'll make a conversation with her and talk to her about her fears or what is it that is triggering her mental health. I'll rather listen to her than speak anything other than her mental and physical health so that she feels wanted and affectionate. This will slowly make her comfortable to start caring and nurturing her mental health. Also i would make her involve in self care activities like meditation, yoga, dancing, or reading.
ReplyDelete2. I will definitely educate all the students about mental health .. what it is and why you should not make fun of someone whose suffering any mental or physical illness. I'll make them understand the value of kindness and generosity so that they will be aware of how it is important to treat the other person with respect. These value if we as teachers inculcate in our students they will feel happy and secure which will automatically make them a good person so that they even respect everybody's mental state of mind.
1. If my friend is going through any kind of problem first I would know the reason behind it and make her comfortable if she does not share with me then I ll take her to counsellor.
ReplyDelete2. If the classmates are making fun of a Chid who is facing mental illness then I will explain what is mental illness make them know and make them understand and make them empathetic and tell them to help others .
1] when i get to know that my friend is suffering from mental illness then first step would be make him comfortable with me so he can talk to me easily about any matter . i will give him space ,let them share as much or as little they want to . let them lead the discussion at their own pace . i would never put pressure on him to talk about .
ReplyDeletemy second step would be taking care about medication i will encourage him to talk to doctor or counselor .i would also try to involve in medication therapy because medication is best for mental peace
2] If the classmates are making fun of any child who is facing mental illness then i would try to explane them that mental illness is not the subject of laughing it is same problem like other part of illness . i would try to understand them that how we should to treat him with extra love and care, how he can face depression because of there behavior .
Good attempt !!!
ReplyDelete1 I would to know my friend health is not good so first I'll care for each and every time and then i will talk to her parents what she like and dislike. She eat food and take medicine on time. I also her make a comfortable with me and definitely talk to her so she feel better.
ReplyDeleteIf possible i would be share our previous scenario and give her more happiness. I'll try to help to come back with good smile .
2 If someone at school making fun of a person with a mental health then i will explain the all this think she is not well so nobody's can fun. And also tell that you all also help to her so that she gets well soon. In class, talk with postitive way.we all can help to our classmate so she has more improvement in her mental health.
1. First I will try to understand her as much I can. Try to find out reason behind her sadness. Make her comfortable, where she feel free to share her emotions.and i will patiently listen her without judging her.
ReplyDeleteShowing love and care towards her and tell her to do what she loves the most.if required then i take her for counselling also.
2. I will sensitised them and spread awareness through education that everybody has a problem in their own life.some of have capacity to hide them their emotion and some of not. if any person suffering from mental illness we should support them through motivating to tell them to stay strong and don't give up.
Show some respect and humanity towards such people and not to demotivate them and don't laugh for their situation and make fun for your entertainment. These things happen with anybody. it's normal and treat them normal.
1) Firstly I would try to help her to come out from this problem help.Try to help her and support her in any difficulties. I may try to find what is her problem due to what she is suffering mental illness.
ReplyDeleteTry to understand her thoughts, feelings and emotions which would help her to feel relaxed and comfortable to share with me. i would suggest her for ding medication that may be most effective way to recover herself from stress. Visit to calm and good environment place so she may feel relax and peaceful within herself.
2) If someone try to do such things that would effect the mental health I would make them understand and say to them stop doing such stupid things. I would explain them that every child is not same to grab any activities quickly. Never to make them down or feel bad always support with love and care.
