    We can make young kids go outside and explore instead of being on their phones which might make them happier

    I think that the increase of technology is having a big impact on the way kids brains are developing and effecting their curiosity levels, causing them to be more sluggish or lazy which develops depression. ~Myori

    To help decrease i think that the issue should be solved or at least be taken care of at a young age. The child may grow out of it but to address the issue when it is first seen, is better. -ogechi

    i think that if we better surround kids with people who are happy, it could help decrease the amount of preschoolers who have depression.

    I think it already does impact America, and every other country that has technology. Kids are staying behind a screen all day long and not growing how they are supposed to.

    It's interesting that kids are developing signs so young, but it's good that we have the technology to find it early before it's too problematic. -Avery

    i think parents should watch how they entertain their kids especially when they're really little still. the things you see and habits you create when you're young follows you until you're older and then the whole world will end up a sad mess. - lexi

    I think kids should spend more time hanging out with friends at a young age instead of spending so much time behind tv or computer screens, i think this may have something to do with this uprising problem.

    These preschoolers will grow up mentally unstable if they are dealing with depression at a young age and don't know how to deal with it over there life time.

    I believe that if the future generations are dealing with more mental issues and illnesses then the amount of suicides and medications in the wold will increase affecting not only them but the future future generations because the illness could be genetic or they could get a hold of anti depressants and become depressed. -Liam H

    i think this generation of kids are so caught up in electronics and social media that they did not grow up like we did. riding bikes til the sun comes down. they need to be doing more of that and less texting - triston
