Shelf Indulgence discussion

May is Mental Health Awareness Month so therefore the theme will be the topic of Mental Health. Whether that is a self-help book or a book that addresses mental illnesses.

This month I read a book by psychiatrist Dr Amen who I’ve enjoyed listening to as a guest speaker on a few different health and wellness podcasts. The book is called “Raising mentally strong kids…” so it kind of fits with this theme. For a self help style book I thought it was really good; had a lot of good ‘love and logic’ parenting tips as he calls it, about being firm but empathetic with kids. Definitely recommend it to anyone with kids of any age as he gives some good concrete tips and examples for toddler age up through teenage years.
