  • To what extent are mental health challenges covert or overtly raised by families?
  • With the pressures of general practice, what are the key areas you could enquire about that set the tone for ongoing support of the child and examples of open probing questions?
  • Practical strategies to manage ‘screen time’ and its impact on children
  • Best approaches for exploring ‘bullying at school’ with the child and family
