Why Raising Resilient Kids Starts With Us with Dr Alex George
Welcome to Motherkind, proudly sponsored by Wild Nutrition Women’s Supplements.
This week’s guest is Dr Alex George, a doctor, mental fitness expert, and formerly the UK’s first Youth Mental Health Ambassador.
I was so keen to speak with Alex about what he’s learned in this role, especially around children’s mental health and how closely it connects to our own as parents.
In this honest and moving conversation, Alex opens up about his own childhood, the struggles he faced, and what he wishes he’d known back then. He shares his hopes for what schools could do differently, and how the tragic loss of his brother has shaped both his life and his mission to support young people today.
This episode is full of wisdom, vulnerability and plenty of practical ideas – not just for supporting our children, but for looking after ourselves too.
