Thriving Kids is a rare opportunity to improve outcomes for Australian children and families. To get it right, evidence-based parenting support needs to be core infrastructure — not an optional add-on. #ThrivingKids #EarlyIntervention #ParentingSupport @Mark_Butler_MP

PAFRA has made a submission to the Parliamentary Inquiry outlining how evidence-based parenting support can be embedded at the heart of Thriving Kids. Full submission here: bit.ly/3MR5pKJ #EvidenceBasedPolicy #FamilyWellbeing

Decades of evidence show that supporting parents: • strengthens child development • reduces family stress • improves long-term outcomes • lowers downstream system costs Parenting support is one of the smartest early investments we can make.

'Mum, Dad, I'm bored!' It is OK for kids to feel bored. Boredom can help children develop some important skills during these holidays. @DrMazzucchelli from @CurtinUni shows how parents can help. #Echobox=1704318380" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theconversation.com/mum-dad-im-bor…

Are your kids good around other people but behave badly with you? It’s all about consequences | Trevor Mazzucchelli dlvr.it/SylW34

Great to see our colleagues at @GuardianAus republishing @DrMazzucchelli article on why kids behave worse when they are with their parents.

@gjfitzgerald @ConversationEDU I'm afraid I don't agree. I think parents are doing the best job they can, but it's a super tricky job. It is very easy to fall into "traps" where parents and children end up accidentally rewarding behaviour we weren't exactly hoping for!

@ConversationEDU @DrMazzucchelli Poor parenting

Parents may be familiar with the scenario of a child behaving well at school, and then having a meltdown at home in the afternoon, writes @DrMazzucchelli (@Curtin_Uni). So, why can kids be good around other people but badly behaved with parents? 🤔 #Echobox=1699827771" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theconversation.com/why-are-my-kid…

@pieinsky322 @ConversationEDU I agree, it is important that children can be themselves. However, it is also important that children learn to behave and express themselves within certain boundaries. Parents can value their children's individuality while still expecting them to respect others.

@ConversationEDU @DrMazzucchelli At home you csn be your real self

@CastIronBalcony @ConversationEDU I agree, this is a common belief, and there is nothing wrong with expressing frustration and anger. However, it is important that children learn to express these emotions in socially acceptable ways.

@ConversationEDU @DrMazzucchelli The article doesn't state one of the main reasons which is because the child feels secure and therefore can express frustration, anger etc. a "perfect" child is a fearful child

Have you ever wondered why children behave well with others, but not at home? Is there anything you can do to improve their behaviour? Read my article, "Why are my kids good around other people and then badly behaved with me?" theconversation.com/why-are-my-kid… via @ConversationEDU

Commentary on #NDIS and parenting support from @DrMazzucchelli and colleagues nationaltribune.com.au/the-ndis-has-a…

The NDIS has a parent problem. Changes could involve parents more in disability support and reduce stress. Great article by @DrMazzucchelli and team. #PAFRA theconversation.com/the-ndis-has-a… via @ConversationEDU
