An essential guide to emotional wellbeing for children, tackling everyday issues to facilitate happier, healthier lives.
Designed to help children become more aware of their emotional needs, Happy, Healthy Minds covers everything from parents and friends to school and overwhelming feelings of self-consciousness. With engaging, interactive prompts, it encourages children to open up, explore their own feelings, and face the dilemmas of growing up.
By mapping out emotions and moods children might have felt but not understood, this book provides them with the ultimate toolkit for happier, healthier, and more emotionally intelligent lives. And it speaks directly TO the child, in topics like: when parents don’t seem to understand us; when school feels boring (or difficult); what to do when we’re having trouble making friends; and much more.
