New research shows one in four Australians think physical punishment is necessary to properly raise children. And one in two parents (across all age groups) reported smacking their children.
Parents may be familiar with this scenario: a child is well behaved at school and polite to their teachers but has a meltdown at home in the afternoon.
Teachers are reporting a perceived lack of social skill development in children and teens. How might excessive screen time affect this development?
Teenagers are experiencing intimate partner violence and abuse that is putting their lives in danger. And they want help from others to spot the early warning signs.
Play fighting can help children’s development in many ways, from their balance, to their nonverbal skills and cognition.
