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.
What I can say for sure is that in this book you will find practical tools and perspectives that will help you find your own authentic answer to the question: how can we best prepare our children to live in these times?
You will learn to navigate uncomfortable truths and feelings, and I will guide you to bring a little more love and healing to the parts of your self, the parts of your child, and the parts of the world that cause you the most concern.
You might laugh, and you might cry, but whatever your experience, I guarantee you will learn at least one insight that could well be life-changing.
