Parental conflicts a Mojor reason for Children Mental Health

Kiran Reddy from Mount Eden

Parental conflicts are a major contributor to children’s mental health issues. When parents argue frequently or are in high-conflict relationships, children often experience stress and emotional turmoil. This environment can lead to feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and depression. Children may internalize the conflict, blaming themselves or feeling powerless to change the situation. Over time, this can impact their social development and behavior, leading to difficulties in school and with peers. Constant exposure to tension can also affect a child’s ability to form healthy relationships in the future. Additionally, parental conflict can disrupt the stability of the home, further heightening feelings of uncertainty and fear. Mental health issues stemming from parental conflict can persist into adulthood if not addressed. Early intervention, such as counseling and support for both parents and children, is crucial. Promoting healthy communication and conflict resolution skills can mitigate these negative effects and support better mental health outcomes for children.

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
