Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book! The title and this beautiful cover drew me in and i was excited to read this book! I will be recommending this book to others for readers advisory.

A practical and well explained guide to helping kids work through hard and messy stuff. I will probably get a hard copy, as the ebook is a bit challenging to use to flip back and forth and find things.
I was disappointed, because after having read Switch On Your Brain by the same author, I was expecting more comparable Christian /faith connections and simple ways to explain the way this science confirms the Bible. I did not find that.

I received a copy of the book from @netgalley and chose to review it here. All thoughts are my own.

This was very informative, well organized, and a little more medical than I was expecting. I did find the information interesting but it was a little above me.

This book had a lot of technical information in it about how the brain works, which definitely made it easier for me to explain how feelings are connected to physical experiences to my son. He has been experiencing a lot of anxiety since the pandemic began, and I think this book will be a great tool in helping him to work through some of his triggers and to understand why his body reacts the way it does to certain emotions and thoughts.

I received a complimentary copy and this review is entirely my own.
How to help your child clean up their mental mess was a must read for any parent.
It is filled with all kinds of information to help you as you navigate your child though messes.
I will be going back to it as a valuable resource as my child grows and matures.

"How to Help Your Child Clean Up Their Mental Mess" is a complete guide for parents on what might be going through your child's mind and how best to respond.

Using Dr Leaf's prompts and systems to facilitate conversations about mental health and reroute their responses the reader can both get ahead of and respond to a child's mental health issues.

While interesting the book is wholly reliant on implementing the system given. I was hoping for more general information, rather than a workbook but parents with children of all ages would find this to be an informative read.

I received this as an ARC from net galley. So thank you to them and publisher for giving me an opportunity to review in exchange.

I thought this book was good. It contained a lot of information and I think it will be a hit with other parents and other caregivers. With the new age of parenting coming up and tapping into gentle parenting and asking our children how they feel, I think this book is a valuable tool in how to navigate it.

I thought it would be clearer laid out wise as I found it a bit too wordy but maybe the actual book is different compared to the Kindle version.

All in all a good book and can't wait to put some of it into practice

Modern day society has a lot to say for the mental health of our children and it can be really hard to know how to help them sort through all their thoughts and feelings. But Dr Caroline Leaf tries, and using analogies like building a tree in your mind she helps provide strategies for parents to help their children work their way through things. There are lots of useful hints in this book, which I know many will find helpful depending on their children.

Found this to be really helpful. I have an 8 year old who is suffering with anxiety so there loads of handy tips that we are going to try and use from this book.
I like how it has bits for the adults and actions for the kids.

I received ARC from NetGalley for my honest opinion. Below comment is my own opinion which was not influenced by publisher.

This is very interesting read about neuroplasticity and neurocycle. Dr. Leaf is explaining that it take 63 days to change a habit (not 21 days) and sometimes it take few cycles of 63 days to get it. There is good information on how to talk to children and how to help them deal with different situations using easy language with good examples for kids (thought trees).
One criticism was a story about a boy which read like an infomercial for Neurocycle App. After that story it was pretty difficult to focus on science for a while.

In general a good book.
