It’s Show Time For These Challenges

While growing up has never been easy, today’s world undeniably presents kids and their parents with unprecedented challenges – and with the National Institute of Mental Health reporting that 25 percent of children experience anxiety and 14 percent have a mood disorder. National Public Radio recently shared that as many as five million public school students have mental-emotional issues such as depression and anxiety, the release of her new book The Emotionally Healthy Child: Helping Your Child Calm, Center, and Make Smarter Choices (2018) is timely indeed.

Healy Heals With A Plan

In The Emotionally Healthy Child, Healy explains that emotional health is the ability to make better choices, even when feeling anger or another big emotion. She describes that the ability to — Stop, Calm, and Make a Smarter Choice — is key to expressing emotions constructively. While not always easy, these steps are powerful, and Healy shows readers exactly how to implement them so they can help children find equilibrium at the moment and build emotional well-being over the long-term.

It also includes a toolbox full of mindfulness tools designed to help readers put the ideas throughout the book into practice.

Interesting, Important and helpfulApril 28, 2018 by J.M.I from Sweden
I am listening in from Sweden, and I learn so much from Dr Parker and his interesting guests. Sadly, information like this is hard to find amongst practitioners here, and underlying factors to symptoms are of little interest. I am thankful to Dr Parker dedicating time in spreading word about helping people with psycological dysfunctions from a non conventional angle. Thank you!
