- "Perry, you're not naughty
and you've not upset your mum.
It's not your fault
- it's never your fault -
that your mummy feels this glum."
If you are suffering with depression, it can be really hard to explain it to your kids. This wonderful book by Helen Bashford is a perfect way to help our children to understand the difficult subject of mental health. It reassures them that it's not their fault, and explains the reasons why mummy may not be feeling 100%.

I’m crying my eyes out listening you read this.
This is exactly how I feel and I just don’t know where to start, without feeling like I’ve failed my children even more
this has just made me cry so much! I always worry that i am not doing the greatest job but my mum has always told me i am doing the best! Chin up to all those mums and dads that feel the same as you are doing the most amazing job you can do and there is nothing that is going to stop you being the best mum or dad in the world!
Love this so much, everyday I have mummy guilt that I’m snappy or shouty.. being a mummy is definitely the hardest job I’ve ever had but also the greatest xxx
I cried watching this. What a wonderful way to explain about why us mummies can be a bit sad at times ❤️
Wow. What a powerful story, it brought me to tears. My 17 year old has depression and lately things have been tough, constantly treading on eggshells not knowing what she finds enough. It has a knock on effect, I feel so guilty sometimes, like it’s me that did something wrong. Did I fail her somehow. We were given a story from CAMHS about the Boy Who Lost His Smile. Thank you for sharing this video and I couldn’t think of a better person than SJ to do it (my daughter, is an SJ too) xx
I have tears in my eyes this is such a beautiful story thank you SJ for reading it so beautifully 💕💕
So important that children know, it isn't them and they are never too young to teach them understanding. Such a lovely book. Well done SJ, you're an absolute darling for reading it and keeping it together 💜
Oh my gosh this made me cry so much - amazing story - thanks for sharing x

OH MY GOD :-( .... :-) this was beautiful xo
I've had depression for maybe 7 years and i just can't seem to shift it, initially it's not my kids fault, although sometimes when they've been naughty or 'broken the glass it can feel like there a part of your upset. But.. Depression came to be because i used to be an outdoor person with no schedule or commitments and once you have kids you have to get up and get them to school on time or be home intake to pick them up, they have a routine to keep and that was a hard adjustment, When i had one child but her age 3 we went anywhere anytime and answered to no one.. then she started nursery i moved in with my partner he had 2 kids previous who were in school, and EVERYTHING changed.....
I went from having 1 child living alone to moving in with her dad and having 3 kids getting pregnant and having 4 all 3 years apart we now have 5 kids...
My mum guilt is on another level and 2018 is the year i say enough is enough... I'm sick of feeling this way and it's not fair on my family xx (I really liked this story) Thanks for sharing xo
Very powerful 💕💕
Great story❤️❤️❤️
Aw 😢 😞
I subscribed and I love your video's
Tearful already at 15 seconds in
Well tats just made me cry my eyes out lol
I’m a dad - will have to write my own...beautiful though.
@@channelmum Thanks for your reply! Sadly, there is only one force in the world that has more effect than a parent's unconditional love, and that is the faulty human trait of narcissism. I don't expect you'll understand what I have just said, but I think I needed to say it. I express myself not in words, but in music, and armed with a recording of my daughter's heartbeat from her first scan, I will attempt to put into music what I cannot easily express in words. x

Do you guys think this is appropriate for 3 year olds? Xxx
Yes
I’m showing this to my 2 year old tomorrow. I have had depression on and off for the last 15 years. There have been several instances where I couldn’t function and needed to be hospitalized, so I always get super afraid whenever an episode creeps up, because I would never want to put my son through that. But then beating myself up about feeling an episode coming on seems to just make it worse/more inevitable.
With the time changes and such here, I’ve been feeling it REALLY come on lately.... to the point where I was just wrecked the other day at work. When I got home at 10 pm, my partner and son were both still awake.... every single toy was out, and my son hadn’t been bathed yet..... I wanted to explode because I was so tired and overwhelmed already..... so I just went into my room and started crying. My partner just walked away. I asked him if he could please keep my son occupied while I broke down for a minute, but my son did not want to leave me alone. So I let him watch me cry and fall apart and he just hugged me.
I love him so much but am still trying to figure out how to love myself and never want him to think that my struggles t of his character, the way I mistakenly thought with my parents.
