The Stress Expert: The Reason You Wake Up Tired Every Morning | David Ko, CEO of Calm
What was said
"Kids have to go to gym five days and they know there's physical exercise and it's just kind of like it's just understood. Why can't we take some of that time for children to also better understand their own mental health and to teach them about their mental health?"
David Ko argues schools should set aside regular time to teach children about mental health, similar to physical education. He says earlier education could give children the vocabulary and healthier coping habits before stress patterns become entrenched.
