An essential guide for every parent who wants to help their child develop mental resilience and a healthy relationship with their emotions. No one is born a parent. With parenting, you take on the greatest responsibility of your life, without training, without user manuals, and without help. What you need is to find the strength and the right guidance to raise your child through all the difficulties and adversities with love, empathy, and compassion. In this book, based on the latest scientific findings and the author's extensive experience in treating psychological trauma, distinguished child psychologist Dr. Alison McClymont offers practical ideas and activities to help you and your child manage difficult issues such as bullying, grief, separation, sibling rivalry, failure, divorce, moving, or changing school environments. We all wish to protect our children so they don't get hurt, feel fear or shame, but we can't. However, we can give space to the emotions that arise from traumatic moments, stand with these difficult emotions of turmoil, rather than run away from them. Excerpt from the book In the pages of the book, you will read about: • The function and reactions of the child's brain in everyday situations • The concept of emotional bonding and how it affects our future relationships • "Small traumas": situations that parents manage on a regular basis • The tools that help in proper management (technique of distraction – expression – reflection, play therapy, etc.)
