#005 - Childhood mental health and raising confident kids (Prof. Sam Cartwright-Hatton) - a podcast by Danny Whittaker

Thought depression and anxiety were afflictions of the adult mind? Think again.

In today's episode we talk about depression and anxiety in preadolescent children, whether nurture or nature plays the biggest role in the development of childhood mental health, how you may be inadvertently teaching your child to be fearful of the world and how to stop doing so, why it’s more important to praise effort over ability, the seven confident thoughts that children need to grow up happy and confident, and why Sam is in favour of installing a communist dictatorship.
