The latest NHS figures for England show the number of young people with a 鈥減robable mental disorder鈥� has gone up from one in nine before the pandemic to one in six. So in this four part series of Bringing Up Britain, Anjula Mutanda sets out to explore some of the possible causes of anxiety, and how parents can help their children through them.

In this episode Anjula meets Hannah, a mother of two who feels she was negatively affected by the diet culture she witnessed growing up. She wants her children to take pleasure in food without feeling guilty but feels society gives parents and children mixed messages about obesity on one hand, and body positivity on the other. So how can we raise children with a healthy, happy relationship with food? To find out Anjula hears from:

Dr Julie Mennella, biopsychologist and expert in early nutritional programming
Jackie Blissett, Professor of Childhood Eating Behaviour and Co-Director of Institute of Health and Neurodevelopment, Aston University
Dr Jason O'Rourke, headteacher of Washingborough Academy Primary School
Dianne Neumark-Sztainer, Professor, Epidemiology & Community Health, University of Minnesota
Sarah Bowen, Professor of Sociology at North Carolina State University
