When is the right time to introduce a new partner after separation? Is watching TV really as harmful as phones and social media? And what do you do if your teenager needs mental health support but private psychology feels out of reach?
In this listener Q&A episode, registered psychologist Breanna Jayne Sada answers three common parenting questions with practical, evidence-based advice designed to help parents make confident decisions while keeping children's wellbeing at the centre.
Breanna discusses why there is no \"magic timeline\" for introducing a new partner after divorce, the importance of prioritising stability and secure attachment, and how parents can support children who may still be grieving family separation.
She also explores one of the biggest parenting dilemmas today: screen time guilt. Is television really the same as smartphones, YouTube and TikTok? Learn why not all screen time carries the same risks and how to make balanced decisions without striving for perfection.
Finally, Breanna explains the affordable mental health options available for Australian families, including Mental Health Care Plans, Headspace, school wellbeing services, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), telehealth and public mental health services.
