In our bonus episode, in partnership with Netball Australia, host Cath Cox chats to three parents from Australia’s netball community about navigating the tough times of 2020 – what challenges have they faced this year and how can we look after our children’s mental health, as well as our own?

Just like netball’s elite athletes, children need support to navigate change and uncertainty. Parents Allison, Emma and Shari have lived very different experiences throughout 2020, yet all share a common goal, to improve the mental wellbeing of their family.

From dealing with childhood cancer and single parenthood, to being on the frontline of the healthcare and education industries as an essential worker, these parents have diverse stories to share and helpful insights.

In this bonus episode of Navigating Parenthood – Talking to parents, brought to you
by HCF, we hear the stories of parenthood from 2020 and provide practical advice,
tools and tips for parents to support their children’s and their own mental wellbeing.

Hosted by Catherine Cox, former Aussie Diamond captain and world champion, Channel Nine netball commentator and mum.

Featured expert: Kirrilie Smout, clinical psychologist from Calm Kid Central and director of Developing Minds Psychology.

THE PODCAST PARENTS NEED

Being a parent can be the greatest and the hardest thing you’ll ever do. In Navigating Parenthood, brought to you by HCF, parents and experts share their stories – the joys and stress, the advice and the insight.

In the first 3 seasons of our podcast series, we explore the most challenging periods of any parent’s life: from taking those first baby steps in season 1, Baby Steps, to staying in step with our teens in season 2, Talking to Teens, to the juggles and struggles of raising healthy happy kids in season 3, Imperfect Parents.

In season 4, Growing Great Tweens, our host Dylan Lewis chats to parents about those years between 8 and 12, when our kids are navigating the journey from childhood to teenage-hood, providing tips on how to talk to and connect with our tweens along the way.

With special guests like Pia Miranda, Susie Maroney, Robbie Buck, Meshel Laurie, Sean Szeps, Andy Saunders, and David McCormack (who you might know as the voice of Bluey’s Dad), we explore topics like identity, resilience, technology and the online universe, friendships, and more.
