'As a child therapist and a parent with two primary-aged children, I know how difficult, demanding and consuming the job can be. I've written this book to answer parents' questions about their children's behaviour, make their lives easier, and restore joy and harmony in our homes.' How can we ensure our children remain happy and healthy in a world that is evolving at an unprecedented pace?

Backed by neuroscience, neurobiology, and her practical clinical experience, Kate offers compassionate wisdom and insight into the inner workings of a child's mind from the ages of 5 to 12. Kate guides parents through her ten core 'pillars' and reveals: · How parents can support their children's healthy brain development· The role of the nervous system in 'naughty'· How to support our own mental health as much as our children's· The importance of time spent in play· How to strengthen the connections we have with our children, and have an easier time of it too! Her ten pillars of parenting provide an essential toolbox for parents, showing them how to help their child to better regulate their emotions, cultivate resilience, foster empathy and, ultimately, navigate thoughts and big feelings with ease. In ditching the label of 'naughty', Kate demonstrates how to provide the best possible emotional foundation for the children in our care.Read More
