It feels like the world is becoming increasingly unsafe for children, even among their own peers, with more reports of school and peer violence among children and teenagers. Are children’s relationships today breaking down? We ask consultant developmental paediatrician Dr Rajini Sarvananthan and consultant child psychiatrist Dr Anita Codati what social-emotional skills children are lacking today, and what are subtle signs parents and teachers often miss before negative behaviours escalate.
This conversation will touch on topics of violence and self-harm. If you or your child is struggling with these issues and need emotional support, reach out for help from your community, or helplines like Befrienders KL (03 7627 2929), Talian HEAL (15 555) and Buddy Bear (1800-18-BEAR/2327), which is specifically for children. You can report bullying to the Anti-Bullying Tribunal here.
