You’ll come away with:
- A realisation that resilience can be learnt, and a better knowledge of how it not only helps individuals bounce back from setbacks, but bounce forward in strength, character and development
- An understanding that learning to fail allows your child’s brain to grow and improves their problem-solving skills
- An appreciation of how vital your child’s identity is and strategies to help them become confident in it
- Ideas of how to help your child take healthy risks and an understanding of why this is important
- A re-established confidence in knowing you’re the best person to help your child
Anxiety levels and struggles with mental health are on the rise in children and young people, and as mums and dads, this can feel overwhelming … even at times debilitating. But there’s good news! You, as parents, have incredible power to help your children build strong emotional resilience and a healthy mental wellbeing.
Following the hugely popular online event, Katharine Hill will be bringing A Mind of Their Own on the road. She’ll be joined by Mark Chester, and together they’ll update and expand our understanding of the unique opportunities and pressures facing young people today.
This event is packed with practical and preventative tools for you to use at home and will also explore the science of the mind, and why children act and react the way they do. Plus, there will be brand-new interviews with mental-health professionals, Dr Rob Waller and Dr Kate Middleton, that will help you see your children through the difficult times.
Katharine Hill is the UK director of Care for the Family. She is a well-known speaker, broadcaster and author of a number of books including her latest book A Mind of Their Own: Building Your Child’s Emotional Wellbeing in a Post-Pandemic World. She is married to Richard and they have four grown-up children and four grandchildren.
Mark Chester is the Parent Support Manager at Care for the Family. He is the founder of Who Let The Dads Out? and has been writing and speaking about fatherhood for over 20 years. He has two grown-up children.
While this event may be more applicable to parents of pre-and early teenage kids, A Mind of their Own offers a wealth of wisdom, knowledge and advice that would benefit any parent. It will equip you to support your children to grow into strong, resilient young people.
‘I loved the practical advice offered during each session. Short and easy ways to remember strategies during the thick and thin of everyday life.’
‘I thought this was a really engaging event with fantastic presenters.’
‘We’ve had some real successes this weekend with one of our children who really struggles. We’ve been able to intervene to guide him to better ways of thinking.’
Dates for autumn 2022 coming soon
