A brutal summary of what our CYP are dealing with and what we are seeing so much more of across the spectrum in paediatrics. Most of this is not mental illness that requires specialist CAMHS provision and input, but the impacts on life and function are very very real. apple.news/AwFvzoKRGT_W...

This is great - a nuanced discussion, particularly calling out some of the more alarmist voices on this subject

I found this a useful and calm discussion about kids and screens from two people whose writing I’ve learnt a lot from, and challenged my own biases. I admit I still have views on my kids and phones that aren’t especially evidence based, but at least I’m aware of that! @peteetchells.bsky.social

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".
