How to Grow a Grown Up

We're fast approaching the 3rd decade of the 21st century and it's a very different world from the one in which parents (and teachers) grew up in. Challenging issues have come together - including cyber bullying, 'always-on' culture and ever increasing pressure to do well - to create a perfect storm. The result is that teenagers and young adults are now less prepared for a more challenging world - and if they don't develop the skills they need to help them thrive they can become easy prey to mental health problems.

In this book Dr Dominique Thompson, the UK's leading GP on student mental health and educational expert Fabienne Vailes, reveal what exactly parents need to do to help teenagers and young adults in this new world - and how to manage problems along the way.
