In a must-listen episode, we hear from family psychologist Steve Biddulph AM, one of the world’s best-known parenting educators and authors. He shares insights on the importance of role models in a child’s development and education journey, and the traits that set young people up for a good life.

Steve also reflects on the mental health challenges affecting young people today, describing anxiety as "the second-biggest problem on the planet". He reveals what the latest brain science tells us about the best way to manage anxiety and how we can use this to help young people thrive.
