What’s the latest evidence on our little ones’ mental wellbeing? - with Derek from raisingchildren.net.au

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!
