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.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
