How can I help my child with anxiety? What's the deal with sleep training? Are we supposed to ignore tantrums?

This week, we've invited developmental paediatrician Dr Billy Garvey back on All in the Mind for a mailbag episode. We'll unpack your parenting dilemmas which cover questions about kids of all ages, from the littlest of newborns right through to teenagers.

So whether you're a parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent, friend or someone just curious about how to support young people in your life, Billy has advice for navigating challenging moments.

And please note, one of the questions is a bit heavy, touching on the topic of suicidality. Please take care while listening.
