Publisher's Summary

The author of the international best seller 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do turns her focus to parents, teaching them how to raise mentally strong and resilient children.

Do today's children lack the flexibility and mental strength they need to cope with life's challenges in an increasingly complicated and scary world? With safe spaces and trigger warnings designed to "protect" kids, many adults worry that children don't have the resilience to reach their greatest potential. Amy Morin, the author who identified the characteristics that mentally strong people share, now gives adults - parents, teachers, and other mentors - the tools they need to become mental strength trainers. While other books tell parents what to do, Amy teaches parents what not to do, which, she says, is equally important in raising mentally strong youngsters.

As a foster parent, psychotherapist, and expert in family and teen therapy, Amy has witnessed firsthand what works. When children have the skills they need to deal with challenges in their everyday lives, they can flourish socially, emotionally, behaviorally, and academically. With appropriate support, encouragement, and guidance from adults, kids grow stronger and become better. Drawing on her experiences and insight, 13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don't Do combines case studies, practical tips, specific strategies, and concrete and proven exercises to help children of all ages - from preschoolers to teenagers - build mental muscle and develop into healthy, strong adults.

Great all around

Great book that will make you feel like you're doing some things right and can probably do some things better. Lots of behaviours and situations discussed in there which you may relate to.

.

It has useful sections, but perhaps more emotional education is needed because time outs are emotionally damaging like spanking is.
I had less desire to finish the book.

Wish I had this book 15 years ago

This book is very well structured and included examples, lists and sound reasoning behind all of the advice. While I really appreciate that the author narrated the book, I would have liked it better read by a voice actor with an easier voice on which to focus.

I will be gifting this book to all of my new parent friends and using as much as I can through my teenagers' remaining time at home.
