    How to boost brain health and prevent dementia
    Feb 21 2026
    More than 446,000 Australians currently live with dementia, the leading cause of death in the country, with numbers expected to exceed 1 million by 2065 without intervention. Professor Henry Brodati from UNSW's Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing explains that cognitive decline is not inevitable, noting half of centenarians live without dementia. Research involving over 6,000 participants demonstrates that brain training, physical exercise, Mediterranean diet, social interaction, and blood pressure control can significantly reduce dementia risk at any age.

    Feb 21 2026
    Sibling rivalry is a common challenge in families, manifesting through frequent squabbles during pressure points like meals, bedtime and car trips. Developmental paediatrician Dr Billy Garvey explains that while some conflict is normal, daily fighting can have lasting negative consequences on sibling relationships. The key to managing sibling conflict involves parental co-regulation, building problem-solving skills during calm moments, creating protected one-on-one time with each child, and teaching pro-social skills like empathy and conflict resolution through play.

  • Understanding burnout and how to combat it

    Understanding burnout and how to combat it
    Feb 21 2026
    Burnout is a state of mental and physical exhaustion caused by chronic stress that hasn't been successfully managed, with statistics showing one in two people experiencing it. The condition manifests through behavioural symptoms like shutting down and agitation, psychological symptoms including low mood and anxiety, and physical symptoms such as muscle tension and sleep problems. Clinical psychologist Dr Jodie Lowinger identifies three key factors contributing to burnout: mindset (anxiety and the need for certainty leading to perfectionism), context (when expectations exceed capacity and lack of psychological safety), and balance (disconnection from replenishing activities and living out of alignment with personal values).
