A child's mental health is just as important as their physical health. As the child grows older, they may be influenced by their friends and external factors like social media, and may start to have different mindsets as compared to their parents. It may not be easy for children and their parents to have conversations about mental health challenges. How can parents care for the mental well-being of their children? Join the conversation with our panel of mums and experts as they share their experiences and insights on supporting the mental health of children.
