In a world that seems to be increasingly filled with danger and vitriol, we need books like this to help us stay on track." (Amber Hatch, author of Mindfulness for Parents)
A Word From The Author
This book is not just for parents! It is for anyone interested in or studying psychology, and is a critical read if you are training or working with children or young people. You may be training to be a nurse or working in a mental health service or charity; maybe you are a youth worker or a member of school staff? You could be a manager/employer of young adults, or work at a University where student wellbeing is an issue? If so, this book will help you better understand the young people (and parents) you are working with and give you the tools to get the best out of your relationship with them. It will revolutionise your approach to helping them face their challenges by working with their psychology/mind – not against it.
Perhaps you just want to understand your own upbringing better and how your experiences in childhood or adolescence have influenced who you are today?
If so, this book is for you. It takes you through everything you need to know in this area in a reader-friendly, digestible and relatable way. It gives you the essential things you need to know about the workings of the developing mind and how issues like anxiety, low mood, self-harm and challenging behaviours can be understood and responded to.
You will not only have a better understanding of children and young people, but also your own upbringing and experience of being parented. This is the only book out there with all of the evidence-based approaches in one place! It will equip you to make simple changes that make a big difference.
Happy Families: How to Protect and Support Your Child's Mental Health is available to buy from your local bookseller and online internationally from Amazon.
