Publisher's Synopsis

I know of no one better qualified to understand what young people are facing today - Philippa Perry

There are epidemic rates of ADHD, depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide in young people. The conventional medical model wants to put a plaster on the problems with medication and CBT, but we, as parents, need to dig deeper. We need to face the fact that it is not our child's fault, but the world we are bringing them up in and that we play a key role in how they see this world.

Bringing together years of work helping children and the child inside us all, acclaimed psychotherapist, Louis Weinstock, will show us how. Split into two parts, and blending mindfulness, meditation and visualisation, we are taken on a journey that starts with exploring our own fears and weaknesses, and ends joyfully in practical ways we can help build confidence, courage and authentic hope about the future in our children.

The power lies within each of us to create with, and for, our children a more beautiful world right now - a world where they realise their almost infinite potential.
