A simple shift could help solve NZ's complex housing problem, PSA suggests

OPINION: An important issue has lurked on the edges of the limelight for most of this election, sadly shunted out of reach of the main beams by leadership changes or falls from grace.
For weeks now politicians of most persuasions have made policy announcements or passing comments about it, but it still hasn't had all the attention it deserves.
I'm talking about the topic of mental health in New Zealand. Specifically, our suicide statistics, which set us apart in the developed world for all the wrong reasons.

Are we over-punishing our kids?
Most people use a pretty basic formula for disciplining kids: good behaviour = reward, bad behaviour = consequences (like time out or punishment).
But psychologist Ross Greene believes giving kids negative consequences only leads to more bad behaviour.
Instead, adults need to work with kids to figure out why they misbehave and working on a solution together.
