In our 96th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Derek from raisingchildren.net.au. We ask him all your questions about our little ones' mental wellbeing:
- Who are the main people accessing raisingchildren.net.au?
- Have the recent lockdowns in Australia exacerbated parent’s reaching out for help?
- Does increased screen time play a part in children's mental health?
- Is there any information on the impact of masks on kids’ mental health and social abilities going forward?
- Does leaving babies to cry/self-settle have an impact on their future mental health?
- Is an anxious child born an anxious child? Is there anything we can do when our kids are young to reduce their risk of having mental child issues later on?
- Is childcare generally beneficial or negative for kids’ mental health?
- There’s a real move towards ‘gentle parenting’ at the moment, is there hard evidence around ‘gentle parenting’ vs ‘disciplinary parenting’?
- Is there research around whether or not bum smacking can negatively impact children's mental health?
- At what age should we start speaking to our children about mental health issues?
- What is separation anxiety and what’s normal vs. requires some professional assistance?
- What helps build a child’s resilience?
- And MORE!
We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!
