Product reviews for Growing Minds

Growing Minds is a much-needed handbook on how we can help teenagers to thrive. Far from painting a doom-and-gloom picture about the youth of today, it gives an optimistic assessment of the potential of our young people and argues that, equipped with the right tools and techniques, parents have enormous powers to improve their children’s brain health and enable them to flourish.

In each section, clearly explained neuroscience and well-referenced research lead swiftly into practical, bite-sized advice. Every chapter ends with a helpful summary and top tips for busy families, along with a useful template for personal action points and pledges.

The authors are grounded, reassuring, and realistic in their advice for parents. But the readership of Growing Minds should also extend to school teachers and leaders, tutors, pastoral staff, and coaches. The book’s pages are teeming with material that would enrich assemblies, tutorial programmes, and training sessions. Thoroughly recommended!
