Ours is a worried world. One in five children now have a probable mental health disorder, and parents feel helpless as their happy, easy-going children are increasingly overwhelmed by a tsunami of pressure and anxiety. How can we enable them to flourish in these challenging times?

Katharine Hill, director of Care for the Family, throws parents a lifeline. In this wise and timely book she tackles everything from handling failure and dealing with disappointment, to managing friendships, body confidence and bullying, while lifting the lid on the powerful impact that social media, AI and algorithms have on young people. Underpinned by the latest research and filled with practical ideas and creative activities, Katharine helps families build good habits, guiding children in managing their thoughts and emotions while developing the all-important quality of resilience.

Celebrating and affirming the family, A Mind of Their Own equips parents to nurture their children’s emotional wellbeing from toddlerhood to teenage years and beyond.
