The Secret of Strong Kids

Since its publication in Australia in 2006, this book has become a topic of conversation in schools, families, youth organisations, and with psychologists and among children and adolescents themselves. This book is a timely and valuable resource for: Parents, grandparents, youth workers, psychologists, social workers, doctors, magistrates, family workers, teachers, child care worker, and anyone who works with children and adolescents. The seven factors that resilient children, adolescents and adults have in common are illustrated in the shape of a doughnut. Ways of helping them through stressful times and building their resilience are shown using a simple the common sense formula: 'If something is working, do more of it'. Lyn Worsley has written this book in everyday useable language, making it an easy read, and a resource that can be used for anyone experiencing the difficulties that life inevitably brings. Children as young as 5 years old have used The Resilience Doughnut and understood what makes them strong!
