Behaviour and mental health in schools
How is children's behaviour in schools linked to their mental health? And what impact are behaviour management approaches having on young people's mental health? This episode, Thea Joshi sits down with Charlotte Rainer from the Children & Young People's Mental Health Coalition and Daisy*, a member of the Coalition's parent-carer advisory team, to discuss the Coalition's new research on behaviour and mental health in schools. They consider how children's behaviour is currently managed, how more punitive processes affect children's mental health, and how schools could better meet the needs of every child. They also do some myth-busting, unpacking the polarised discourse around mental health and behaviour management.
