Daniel: If you want your child to experience good wellbeing,
you can't ignore their physical and mental health.
(light music)
Wellbeing is about physical and mental health together.
Physical and mental health are inextricably linked.
So what happens in our bodies impact our minds
and what happens in our minds impact our bodies.
The foundations here at a young age is so critical
and I think parents have such an important role to play.
So here are some tips,
here are some things that you can do for good wellbeing.
Eating well, finding right foods, healthy foods.
Being active, whether that be going for bush walks,
dancing, hikes, or just playing sport.
Being in green spaces.
Now, those things are so critical
in contributing to somebody's wellbeing.
You know, connect with them, listen to them, be present.
You can help find little moments in the day
to slow down to connect with your kids.
That might be over a healthy meal at dinner time,
that might be going on a walk when you're walking the dog.
Being interested in what they're doing,
encouraging your child to pursue things that they love,
things that they're good at.
You have all the ingredients that you need
to set your child up for life.
Building good habits is something that all of us can do,
and that is what good physical
and mental health wellbeing is about.
It's about investing in our kids' minds and bodies.
