how the world is making our children mad and what to do about it

There is a growing crisis among young people, with alarmingly high rates of ADHD, depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide. While the traditional medical model often resorts to medication and CBT as quick fixes, as parents, we must look beyond surface solutions. It’s crucial to acknowledge that these issues are not the fault of our children, but rather the result of the world in which they are growing up—and we, as parents, have a powerful role in shaping how they perceive this world.

Drawing on years of experience helping children and nurturing the child within all of us, renowned psychotherapist Louis Weinstock offers a transformative approach. Divided into two parts, the book combines mindfulness, meditation, and visualisation techniques to guide us through a journey of self-exploration. We begin by facing our own fears and vulnerabilities, ultimately discovering practical methods to help cultivate confidence, resilience, and authentic hope for the future in our children.
