Description

In a world that is evolving with such unprecedented pace, how can we ensure our children remain happy and healthy

In There's Still No Such Thing As Naughty, Sunday Times bestselling author and qualified child therapist, Kate Silverton explains that whilst our older children might be more independent and more mature physically, emotionally they need us more than ever. Kate outlines the seven core 'pillars' parents can put in place to provide the strongest foundations for their children's mental health and happiness - sharing easy, evidence-based tips and scripts to support anyone in the position of caring for a child.

Backed by neuroscience and her practical clinical experience, Kate offers compassionate wisdom and an insight into the inner workings of a child's mind from the ages of 5-11. She shows parents how to help their child to better regulate their emotions, cultivate resilience, foster empathy and ultimately, navigate thoughts and 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.
