Mind Matters: When Name-Calling Among Kids Becomes Harmful

Most of us would remember being called names at least once in school. While many may think this is just kids being kids, it doesn’t feel great to be called names and it can affect the child’s emotional and psychological well-being. So how can parents teach their kids to speak up but also talk to their kids who are name-calling their peers? On this episode of Mind Matters, we find out from consultant child psychiatrist, Dr Anita Codati.
