A staggering number of Aussie kids are facing a crippling health epidemic, with anxiety on the rise among young people. According to clinical psychologist Dr Judith Locke, overprotective parents and carers may be inadvertently fuelling the crisis by obsessing over helping their children 'relax'. This obsessive behaviour could be having a detrimental impact on the mental health of Australian kids, driving a growing epidemic of anxiety and stress. With mental health awareness and self-care becoming increasingly important, it's essential for parents to find a balance between support and independence for their children. Key issues include childhood anxiety, parenting styles, and mental health support.
