What is the difference between transient and long-term anxiety, and how can we deal with both? Why do we need to let our children fail, safely? How can misguided praise and a focus on perfection lead to devastating results for schoolchildren?
Dr Joanna Fortune is back on That'll Teach You this week to answer these questions and more. We talk about how young people these days are self-diagnosing with mental health struggles before seeing professionals. We ask Joanna why the perfectionism we see in the classroom can be a real problem for our students? Joanna also brings up that tricky question of how protective is too protective when we are looking for our children to develop.
Dr Joanna Fortune is a clinical psychotherapist specialising in the parent-child relationship. She is the author of the 15-Minute Parenting series which sets out play-based techniques aimed at helping families connect. Joanna previously appeared on That'll Teach you in 2024, in a 2-part mini-series on bullying.
