We can't take away kids' struggles, but we can help them rise above
As educators, we know that many of our students are struggling, but we often don't know what we can do to help. Finding the Words by Dr. Hayley Watson, a leading expert in youth mental health, offers a way forward with practical advice and techniques for talking to students about issues like consent, bullying, parental separation, gender norms, and anxiety. Most of us entered teaching out of a genuine desire to help children flourish. When we gain the skills to empower them and support their mental health, we can help them discover their own internal resources for thriving -- even when they face many issues we never had to face ourselves. In to-the-point, conversational style, you'll learn why and how each issue impacts youth, what you can do to help, and an example conversation to show you exactly how to implement these techniques. With Finding the Words, educators will feel like they have a psychologist on hand to help students navigate common issues and help students access their power.
