Description
In Mind Kind: Your Child's Mental Health, acclaimed psychotherapist Dr Joanna North gives a unique insight into the world of children's mental health; one that focuses on kindness and values. Dr North presents clear, research-based strategies which she has developed over 30 years of working with children, adults and families.
In supporting children towards positive mental health and wellbeing, this book emphasises the importance of understanding their emotions in a variety of situations. Chapters are devoted to behaviour management; helping children through difficult times; and developing a & Mind Kind approach' to mental health conditions such as stress, anxiety and depression. Family break-ups, divorce and step-parenting; and eating disorders and their link to mental health receive special attention.
Dr North also addresses common parental misunderstandings about mental health and provides advice for interpreting behavioural signals in children and the most effective ways to help. Her focus is on resolving children's struggles through kindness and clear comprehension of what they are going through. She appreciates that every child's emotional needs are unique and gives parents and carers the tools to adapt.
Mind Kind provides tried and tested strategies to create an environment that promotes positive mental wellbeing for children at for every age and stage of childhood.

This is a sensible, well written book which doesn't talk down to the reader even when the advice seems a little obvious. Bringing up children doesn't end at any particular age, nor does it get any easier as time goes on. In fact it is more likely to involve spouses and grandchildren as well and the problems they need help with.
When we have a situation where our children are struggling or their behaviour is a cause for concern it is easy to ignore the obvious or lack the confidence to help. This book gives you a heads up as to how to recognize the best way to not only empathise but also promote better behaviour or understanding of the situation they find themselves in.
I felt the author had a real grasp of what type of help and encouragement the harried parents drawn to this book might require and it is one I will definitely keep at hand in the future.
I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers and would recommend it to anyone who needs a little help now and again with this parenting lark.
