GulfWeekly has launched its latest ‘Speak Your Mind’ feature where we invite you, our family of readers, to share your concerns and challenges on a chosen subject with our panel of mental health experts who will respond to a selection of them.

Together, let’s get the conversation started!

July’s topic is: ‘The challenges parents face with children forced to stay indoors during the summer’. Some points to ponder over:

*Reducing screen time 

* Working parents’ concerns

* Insufficient opportunities for fun, constructive activities

Share your thoughts in no more than 100 words on gdnnews@gdnmedia.bh or @gdnonline on Instagram by July 15.

We will publish a selection of the comments received in GulfWeekly and one star entry will be awarded a box of Raw Candy vegan chocolates as a ‘thank you’ gift.

*Last month’s winner: Nanju, centre, receiving her gift from Raw Candy staff
