Lessons Learnt over Time: Mike King

Bryce Casey speaks with mental health advocate and father Mike King. Mike has children spanning different age groups.  In todays episode Mike talks about how originally his parenting style had been shaped by what he had observed in his own Father, how he was brought up, but how over the generations his attitude to parenting has changed.  Although a mental health advocate that helps thousands of Kiwi kids, Mike talks candidly about the challenges of fostering mental health and self confidence, especially in our own children.
