Every Parent’s Guide to building Resilience In Their Child

Michael Hawton is a registered psychologist and former school teacher. He has published two previous books on child behaviour management and has prepared many child protection and family court reports. He specialises in training a wide range of professionals, as well as parents, in ways to support children and young people to develop the skills needed to manage emotional overreactions. As a parent, he also has personal insights into this.

The book is organised into three parts, initially introducing the foundational ideas , definitions and basics, before exploring more deeply and providing specific tactics to support individual children.

Chapters include:

  • Patterns in families and how to change them
  • Mind maintenance
  • Listen to them more
  • Helping your child to think more accurately 
  • Skill them to tame their fears

The author provides a guide that covers the preschool to thirteen age range, through the use of case studies , a flowchart, worksheets and additional resources . The tone of the book is calm, supportive and his SALON script for holding conversations with a child in an anxious state will be of value to many.

Hawton is very clear that his advice and recommendations draw  on evidence-based processes for helping children overcome the anxieties they may face in the future. He writes with clarity and this will be of value to parents and professionals.
