Summary

Developmental paediatrician Dr Billy Garvey is returning to All in the Mind and we'd love to ask him your questions!

Billy is an expert on kids' mental health — last time he was on the show we discussed what's really going on with kids who are labelled "bad"; including insecure attachment, separation anxiety and emotional difficulties. 

He co-hosts Pop Culture Parenting and is the author of Ten things I wish you knew about your child's mental health.

So if you have any questions you'd like to put to Billy, send them to allinthemind@abc.net.au and include "question for Dr Billy Garvey" in the subject line.

And if you're looking for inspiration, you can find Dr Billy Garvey's previous episode here.

Thanks!

 - Sana and the All in the Mind team

him back on the show to answer any questions you might have about your child's mental health.

But also, any questions you might have about parenting trends or issues?

One example is this trend of FAFO parenting that's been on my radar, on my socials.

0:45.3

It stands for, I'll say the polite version, F around and find out parenting.

0:50.3

It's kind of like a backlash to gentle parenting, which we might have perhaps been misunderstanding all along anyways.

0:58.6

Anyways, if you have questions on topics like this or even, you know, school refusal, bad behavior, send them to us at all in the mind at abc.net.com.

1:09.9

In the subject line, put question for Dr. Billy Garvey,

1:13.7

just so we can find it easily. And also let us know if you're happy for us to use your first name

in the episode. If not, no worries, we can use pseudonyms. Again, that email is All In The Mind

at ABC.net.org. And if you want to listen to that original episode with

1:29.6

Dr. Billy Garvey, we will link to it in the show notes for this little mini episode in your podcast feed
