What would a school look like if it was designed with mental health in mind? Too many public schools look and feel like prisons, designed out of fear of vandalism and truancy. But we know that nurturing environments are better for learning. Access to nature, big classroom windows, and open campuses consistently reduce stress, anxiety, disorderly conduct, and crime, and improve academic performance. Backed by decades of research, Schools That Heal showcases clear and compelling ways--from furniture to classroom improvements to whole campus renovations--to make supportive learning environments for our children and teenagers. With invaluable advice for school administrators, public health experts, teachers, and parents Schools That Heal is a call to action and a practical resource to create nurturing and inspiring schools for all children.

An essential guide to help children become more aware of their emotional needs. This book examines a range of everyday topics that might give children’s minds difficulties, for example: when parents don’t seem to understand us; when we fall out with friends; when school feels boring or difficult; when we’re too busy and get overwhelmed; when our phones create trouble; when we feel sad, bored, anxious or fed up with things. As an atlas to a child’s mind, we explore a range of common scenarios encountered by young children and talk about some of the very best ideas to help deal with them. By offering a sympathetic and supportive framework, we encourage children to open up, explore their own feelings and face the dilemmas of growing up armed with emotional intelligence.

We love our little ones. We want to make sure they have a magical childhood that leads to a bright future. To try and achieve this, we pour enormous amounts of time, energy, and financial resources into schools, sports, and a range of other activities. For most of us, the primary influence on our children outside of the home is the school. Our schools get so much right but are largely forgetting to include the critical non-curriculum components. Key ingredients like empathy and resiliency are needed for our children to succeed academically and as human beings. Many programs that aim to improve the social element are too narrow, unambitious in scope, and often focused on the symptoms instead of the underlying issues. In Kindness Week is Weak, I chronicle my journey from California to Australia and eventually on to Norway, where I learned about positive parenting and what makes the Nordic countries and their kids the happiest in the world. Learn how we can adjust our approach both inside and outside of the school system to give our kids more of the good stuff like healthier friendships, positive peer interactions, and the right kind of cool as engaged and interested learners. Great schools and healthy minds require happiness. Help turn your child's school into a HAPPINESS FACTORY!
