These are anxious times. While soaring prices, climate change fears, escalating
global conflicts and the latest political struggles may not be at the forefront of the
minds of our children, the atmosphere in which they live, learn and work can feed
their fears.
The incessant rise of social media has changed the cultural landscape of our times.
We are living through a mental health crisis. Every day there is a bombardment of
messages from smartphones, laptops and TV screens, that "you can be anyone"
or "find your strength inside you". But what if you can't? What if there is always
someone better, brighter, more beautiful on another screen? What if ... you fail?
As they struggle with these impossible objectives, children are growing up beset
with anxiety and low self-esteem. How can parents build mental wellbeing so
children can grow into well-adjusted adults?
Offering encouragement, insight, action points and practical activities, A Mind
of Their Own explores the stages of brain and emotional development and the
impact of home life, social media, peer pressure, isolation, and the socio-economic
environment on children and teenagers as they develop. Katharine Hill wisely
tackles the more difficult topics such as anxiety and depression, eating disorders
and self-harm in a non-sensational way, and always with practical advice on what
to do in challenging situations.
Celebrating and affirming the strength of family life, as well as addressing the tests
and trials of recent times, A Mind of Their Own is a lifeline for parents who want to
build resilience in their children. Children who are secure in their own identity.
