Our teenagers are growing up in one of the most complex, fast-moving and uncertain times in history - and they're doing remarkably well. They're juggling intense academic pressures, navigating social challenges magnified by technology and living in a world that feels unpredictable and demanding. And yet, so many of them continue to show courage, compassion, and resilience every single day.

As parents, we see their strength - but we also see their struggles. We know what it's like to watch our teens wrestle with friendships, self-doubt and school stress and we wish we could do more to help. We also know how hard it is to stay calm and resilient ourselves when the emotional temperature at home feels sky-high.

Growing Minds: The science of raising thriving teens is the essential, evidence-based guide every modern parent needs. It goes far beyond the basics, offering a deep dive into the latest neuroscience to help parents support their children's brain health whilst also nurturing their own. In today's fast-paced, often overwhelming world, understanding how to foster resilience, well-being, and cognitive development is key to raising thriving children-and Growing Minds gives you the tools to do just that. 

Based on the latest research, this book covers crucial topics like balancing pleasure and pain, building strength through healthy relationships and establishing habits that promote optimal brain function. It's not just about helping children and parents to succeed and perform-it's about helping us all to develop emotionally, socially and mentally to navigate life's challenges with confidence and grace. 

Whether you're a new parent or a seasoned veteran, this book will change the way you approach your own and your children's brain health in the best way possible. Subjects covered include:
