Emerging Minds consulted with practitioners and families with lived experience to develop ‘the PERCS of parenting’, which outline five key ways to support your children's mental health. The PERCS provide guidance on: parent-child relationships, emotions and behaviours; routines; communication and meaning-making; and support networks. In this episode our host Alicia Ranford is joined by Emerging Minds Practice Development Officer, Jacquie Lee. Jacquie talks through each key area and how parents can use the PERCS to support their children’s mental health and wellbeing.
