One in six children now struggle with mental health. Is yours one of them? Ours is a worried world. Children are growing up with anxiety, uncertainty, and low self-esteem, and the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing lockdowns and yet more life online, has only intensified this. Many parents feel helpless as their happy, easygoing children are overwhelmed by a tsunami of pressure and worry. How can we help them flourish in these infamously "unprecedented" times? Katharine Hill, UK director of Care for the Family, throws us a lifeline. Backed by solid, up-to-the-minute research and grounded in real-life experience, A Mind of Their Own tackles everything from body confidence and bullying to dealing with disappointment and strong emotions, and gives hands-on steps to take when challenges come. Packed with encouragement and creative activities, it will help families form good practices like listening well, setting consistent boundaries, and establishing a growth mindset. Celebrating and affirming the family, A Mind of Their Own equips parents to build resilience and care well for their children's mental wellbeing, from toddlerhood to teenage years.
This revised third edition provides practical guidance for parents navigating the challenges of raising children in a digital landscape. It addresses crucial topics such as screen time, social media, cyberbullying, grooming, and pornography, while also introducing new insights on gaming and the phenomenon of 'sharenting.' Hill's encouraging approach serves as a valuable resource for parents and caregivers seeking to foster healthy relationships with technology for their children.
Whether we are over-eager or burnt-out grandparents, very involved or unsure how to help grandparents, this heart-warming little book can help us to be the best grandparent that we can possibly be, being there for, and bringing out the best in, our beloved grandchildren.
How can working parents live wisely with God at the centre, learn to be still and know him, while juggling demands of family and career at today's hectic pace? Katharine Hill draws on a wealth of experience from advising government, working with families and bringing up her own, to help you flourish in your calling and walk closely with the Lord.
