Today's guest, Psychologist and renowned media commentator Dr Michael-Carr Gregg hasn't seen anything like the rates of anxiety in children and teens in decades of clinical practice. Despite the incredible challenge of anxiety for young people and their families, he assures parents that it is treatable; and that parents play an important role in the process. In this conversation Michael explains anxiety just as he would to a family in his clinic, and shares the steps that work to help anxious young people develop the understanding and tools that work to wind anxiety back. It takes time, but is absolutely possible. He also explains the most powerful predictor of childhood wellbeing and the four tasks critical to healthy child wellbeing and development: Friendship, connecting with school, taking healthy risks and establishing an island of competence, and beginning to separate from their family of origin.We talk about school refusal, reassurance, graduated exposure, social media, how anxiety is a logic free zone and much more.Michael Carr-GreggTwitterScratch a Happy Adult, Find a Socially Connected ChildhoodA 32-Year Longitudinal Study of Child and Adolescent Pathways to Well-Being in Adulthoodhttps://brave4you.psy.uq.edu.au/https://moodgym.com.au/Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”Jodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.

Dr Michael Carr-Gregg is one of Australia's highest profile child and adolescent psychologists. He's a prolific author and broadcaster, with regular appearances on Australian television and radio. He also specialises in corporate mental health, families and the seemingly ever-present issue of adolescent use of technology and its effect on mental health. In this discussion, I talk with Michael about a recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper about a call for banning phones in schools. Now, you might already have a strong view about this and wonder why the point is still being argued. But Michael brings insight into the debate based on extensive research and experience. In fact he was asked by a former NSW minister for education to conduct a review and write a report into the non-educational use of mobile devices in NSW schools. I started by asking Michael why he had such a high level of conviction about a ban from the first bell, until the last. Access the report on non-educational use of mobile devices in NSW schools. https://education.nsw.gov.au/about-us/strategies-and-reports/our-reports-and-reviews/mobile-devices-in-schools/review-into-the-non-educational-use-of-mobile-devices-in-nsw-schools#Findings_45 Read the SMH article here. https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/high-school-phone-ban-more-urgent-than-ever-amid-pressure-on-teens-20220809-p5b8dp.html Find out more about Dr Michael Carr-Gregg's work at https://michaelcarrgregg.com This podcast is brought to you by Sentral.

In the midst of COVID-19 uncertainty and the anxiety it is provoking it can do the heart and mind good to be distracted with positive stories of people doing good in our world. We need that right now.My guests for this episode are Naomi Hunter and Jeremy Hunter, the co-Managing Directors of Empowering Resources, a boutique publisher of children's books that encourage meaningful conversations between kids and their trusted adults.Their books handle tough topics with nurturing and understanding. They allow conversations to evolve to where kids need them to go.Naomi is the author of A Secret Safe To Tell, a gentle book that encourages meaningful conversations about body safety, the importance of not keeping secrets and confiding in trusted adults if something is making you uncomfortable. Naomi wrote it when she became a mother, working through her own experience of childhood sexual abuse. She hoped that she could empower other children to share their experiences and get the help and support that they need much earlier in life than she was able to.Within the first three months of its release, A Secret Safe to Tell encouraged 10 young children to disclose sexually abusive situations to their carers. These children were instantly validated and the abuse stopped. They did not need to wait until becoming an adult to start to heal, as Naomi had to. A Secret Safe to Tell and Even Mummy Cries (Naomi's second book) were both nominated for Children's Book of the Year in Australia and the Simplified Chinese version of A Secret Safe to Tell just won a gold award at a children's choice book awards in China, where 1.3 million children voted for their favourite book!Empowering Resources publish for many authors whose stories help kids to feel validated, to feel seen and to feel empowered. As high profile psychologist and past guest here on the show, Dr Michael Carr-Gregg says, 'These are some of the most important books that exist.'This is a joyful conversation with both Naomi and Jeremy. I ask them:Who is Empowering Resources and why do the books you publish matter?Naomi, why did you write A Secret Safe to Tell? How did writing it help you and how has publishing it helped others?What feedback to you get from parents and professionals about the books, how they use them and how they may have helped?Where do professionals go for resources like these/where can the books be found?What is your advice to parents and care givers about having difficult conversations with kids?It's a privilege to share Naomi, Jeremy and their authors' work with you. Please listen in to be reminded of the good in the world.

Do you need some inspiration for quick and nutritious snacks for the kids?   Today we are catching up with the lovely Flip Shelton to chat about her new recipe book, Smart Snacks!   When it comes to kids' mood, energy, focus and success at school, one of the most influential factors is diet. And a hugely important part of what kids and teenagers eat and drink every day happens between meals- mid-morning, after school, when they finish a sports game, at the beach. A smart snack will boost them with nutrients and slow-release energy, whereas a processed snack or soft drink can cause a spike in their blood sugar, throwing out their mood and concentration. Poor snack choices can also have longer-term effects on their physical and mental wellbeing.  But family life is busy. That's why passionate foodie Flip Shelton and renowned adolescent and child psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg have teamed up to create this collection of simple, speedy recipes to help you make the most of snacks every day without devoting hours to the process.

“This is a generation that is ­really struggling. It speaks to me of a lack of ­resilience. The bottom line is that I don’t think we are preparing even the little kids or the biggest kids for adversity.’’ That’s my guest, Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, talking about the mental health and well being of our young people - the topic of this episode’s podcast discussion. Michael is one of Australia's highest profile psychologists, author of 11 books, broadcaster and a specialist in parenting, children, adolescents and the use of technology for mental health. He is a media commentator, columnist for a number of national publications and the resident parenting expert for several high rating Australian television and radio programs. This was a challenging interview for me. As an incurable optimist it was difficult to face the dismal facts that Michael presented regarding the state of youth mental health here in Australia. I didn’t resist, deny or despair as I was inclined to though. I got curious and asked the question, ‘What can we do about it?’ The result was a conversation rich in resources, recommendations, tips and strategies for parents, teachers and any one charged with the well being and happiness of our kids, teens and young adults. Tune in to find out, ‘Are we building strong people?’

Australian Psychologist and author, Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg is an eminent resource for teenagers and their parents, and has fascinating insights on the lives and workings of adolescent minds that comes from decades of research and practice. He is prolific in the field of adolescent psychology, and has written books, writes articles and speaks around the world on topics of parenting, technology and mental health, adolescent development and adolescent suicide. He offers some useful tips for parents, based on the recognition of the additional challenges that come with parenting in this fast-paced technological era. He discusses how teenagers are the most vulnerable generation of young people to date and parents and teachers need to be on their game. Dr. Carr-Gregg talks about the risk factors and protective factors in relation to teen mental health and the evidence that this generation struggles to cope with stress. Contrary to some in the field, Dr. Carr-Gregg is optimistic about the space technology occupies in the lives of young people. If it is used in a positive, productive way, he says, there can be real benefits seen by engaging with programs and smartphone apps that have been designed to support mental health in a wide variety of ways. We also discuss two of his books “The Princess Bitchface Syndrome” and “The Prince Boofhead Syndrome” and he offers advice on how to combat oppositional teens.

Is that a “Psychologist in your Pocket?” is the title for Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg's upcoming keynote at the 21st Century Learning conference in Hong Kong.  Interesting title I thought, so I contacted him for an interview to ask him more about what the title really meant. Well, it turns out, he is a huge fan of the potential offered by our devices (smart phones, watches, tablets) for working with mental health issues among teens. We all know that they, and often we, are always connected to devices, so why not leverage that new reality.Dr. Carr-Gregg discusses the work he is doing using devices to help teens with sleep, distraction, depression, anxiety and more. With strong support from the Australian Government and others,  he sees a positive future for the use of the devices that might one day halve the suicide rate of teens.Apps and Devices Discussed in the Interview The Pip Recharge Sleep App Smiling Mind MoodKit Beddit Sleep Tracker Mood Gym Melon HeadbandConnect with Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg Youngandwellcrc.org.au TwitterBioDr Michael Carr-Gregg works as the Managing Director of The Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre, established by the Australian Government Initiative administered by the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research.
