My child's social circles are expanding with the different activities they are beginning to engage in outside of school, and also deepening with the maturing of their friends at school. I worry that my child's social interactions will become increasingly more complex with the need to navigate friendships based more on common interests and values, rather than being available based on environmental friendships.

My child's negative relationship with, and fear of, failure results in them regularly avoiding new things and not wishing to try even if others are engaging in an activity with them. I've noticed that they are no longer wanting to engage in activities they used to love because they now find them "boring", though this apparent disinterest commenced shortly after things got challenging for them.

My child doesn't appear to have the same drive and passion that we (parents) had as children. They seem content to minimally engage in life.

With the varying influences my child faces, I am not certain they have developed the positive self-talk that is so crucial for their wellbeing. I hear them often say "I'm not good enough" or "I always mess up" - definitive negative statements about themselves.

My child expresses frustration, sadness, anxiety and even anger sometimes over their abilities and appearance.

With my child wanting to engage more with various social media platforms and I worry that they will simply learn to follow the trends and may not be learning who they really are as a person and how to be themselves in the world.

My child seems to listen to people external to the family more than their own parents when it comes to important things like life skills, many who they listen to are their peers or influencers on social media, and I worry about what they are learning and the worldviews they are creating for themselves.

I've seen many times when things haven't gone their way because they didn't win the sporting event or they didn't get the part they wanted in the school play, and I've watched them meltdown and be unable to process and bounce back from that adversity and this really scares me about my child's future and their wellbeing.

My child struggles to bounce back when they face adversity. I notice an increase of this struggle with each year that they get older, and I am worried that they will not have the resilience they need to cope with the complexities they will face and will need to navigate during their teen years and into adulthood. They are only in primary school at the moment and they already show low resilience levels.

When my child faces challenges, or difficult tasks/assignments at school, they seem to freeze and be unable to work through the problem they are facing. I am worried that they may struggle to face more complex problem solving as they grow up.

My child will sit back and wait for me to tell them each and every step they need to take in life. I am worried they are not learning how to take initiative and that this may affect their future levels of success.

As they are getting older, I’m noticing an increasing amount of influence by their peers and external sources. This is changing how they view themselves and what interests and passions they are following. Things that I know mean a lot to them are things they now rarely engage in because they are following their peers to engage in different activities. They are worried they won’t fit in if they follow their true interests and passions because people will think they are weird.
