Summary: "Mental health problems during pregnancy and after childbirth are common, proving a difficult time for affected mothers, but also for young children within the family and the wider family network. This reassuring workbook provides young children with ways to understand and cope at this challenging time. With a percentage of profits going to support affected mothers and their families, this interactive and engaging text provides a practical approach to mental health problems. Through beautiful illustrations and interactivity the effect on children aged three and above is explored, providing them an outlet to express their feelings and receive vital answers. Alongside family members, teachers or healthcare professionals, this topical workbook explaining the brain and feelings in a child-centric way encourages a heightened, positive awareness of a delicately complex topic"-- Provided by publisher. "We wrote this book to help young children understand the mental health problems that can happen around the time their parent has a new baby. Although it can be read as a book it may also be approached as a workbook that the young child can sit down and work through with an adult and this could be over a number of sittings. An appropriate adult could be a family member, childcare practitioner, schoolteacher or anyone else you feel appropriate. For very young children it may be best to pick out certain parts or pictures in the book relevant to what you want to help your child to understand. We made the book interactive and we hope it's fun for young children as well as getting across helpful key points. If you have any concerns about your young child, please contact a health professional. This could be your health visitor, GP or a childcare practitioner. Finally we would love your feedback if you have time so we can evolve and improve the book. Please email us at feedback@mymummyand.me"-- Provided by publisher.
