Raising Mentally Strong Kids: How to Combine the Power of Neuroscience with Love and Logic to Grow Confident, Kind, Responsible, and Resilient Children and Young Adults Hardcover – March 26, 2024

We've all heard a young parent's lament: "I wish my baby had come with a manual!" Well guess what! They DO now! Whether you are parents to be, have a new baby or older kiddo and wonder about your parenting skills - this incredible book by Dr. Amen - is the BEST I have ever read! From birth through those challenging teen years and beyond ... what a game changer! Buy this! Highly recommend, and as a great grandmother, wish this had been available back in 1960's through the 1990's for me. Even touches on things like if divorce happens in your family. Such a valuable resource. I read the whole book before I sent it off to my grandson and his wife to enjoy as a wonderful resource for their two baby girls. Yes, it does touch on everything from toddler tantrums to when to let your daughter date! The perfect child rearing "manual", written in very easy to digest chapters and for everyone's ability to grasp.

Really enjoyed this book. It offered a lot of practical wisdom in interacting with our child at different stages of life. It will help parents of children from all ages and stages of life.

This is a fantastic book. I really enjoyed it. So much great information. Easy to read and very helpful.

This is one of the best parenting books I have read. And I have read a bunch of them. I get this book as a gift to anyone who is having a baby soon. My other favorite book is Sheppard a child’s Heart by Ted Tripp.

Love love Dr Amen and this book is a must read for every parent!!!!!!

Definitely struggled with the readers overall tone, but absolutely worth it if you can make it through. I love the advice, and I have been using it with my kid. It’s been super helpful and effective. It definitely gets easier the more you do it.

"How to Raise Mentally Strong Kids" by Dr. Daniel Amen is a must-read for any parent looking to nurture emotional resilience in their children. The book is packed with science-backed strategies, practical tips, and real-life examples that make complex brain health concepts easy to understand. Dr. Amen emphasizes the importance of nutrition, positive thinking, and mindfulness in child development. I especially appreciated the actionable steps to help kids manage stress and build confidence. Highly recommend for parents who want to raise happy, resilient, and emotionally strong children!

I ordered this book in hopes of some insightful tips for helping my son with autism be his best self. This book did not disappoint. It gave me an entirely new way of thinking and tips for how to best handle situations.
