With a greater awareness of mental health comes better understanding, greater knowledge and more resources to help those in need.

Is today's fast paced society causing some of the mental health problems seen in children, or is it just that greater awareness? In this episode Sandy is looking at ways to support our kids and look after their mental health.

Topics discussed:

• Let them be children - play and interaction with other kids is important.
• Keeping communication channels open.
• Being present with our kids.
• Talking about feelings.
• What to do when we notice our kids are struggling or feeling anxious.
