Brighter Futuresis a friendly and readable book packed with visuals and realistic, proven, valuable advice for parents. Written by a team of clinical psychologists it is targeted at parents and carers of children aged 4-11.Brighter Futurestackles many of the challenges that face young children today. Maybe a child is struggling to live life to the full? Perhaps worries are holding them back? Maybe they are finding friendships tricky? What can a parent do if teachers raised concerns that something is getting in the way of a child being happy or fulfilling their potential at school?

 

A highly qualified team of UK-based clinical psychologists guide parents through exactly what to do; from figuring out the roots of the problem, to making and reviewing a manageable plan of action. Each chapter follows the same approach and contains tried and tested practical strategies that are focused on specific areas of concern. Parents are encouraged to consider changes which could make a big difference. This book considers the whole child as an individual and the many aspects which make up their world including environment, routines, diet, exercise, brain development, their feelings and views, and helps parents guide children to learn the essential skills of life during the Primary school years.
