| dc.description.abstract | The significant need for mental health counsellors and clinicians to find ways to improve caregiver or parent-child relationship provides the impetus for the author to develop a parenting handbook as part of an internship at Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) in Langley. Relationships in the family have a profound impact on child and youth development and well-being. Also important to child development and to our familial relationships is the way we communicate with our children because this directly shapes a child’s emerging personality and mental health. In this handbook, the author addresses the developmental needs of children and youth, connecting care-givers and parents to concepts that explain attachment, how relationships impact brain development, mindfulness strategies, finding pathways that seek to diffuse conflict and stress using examples, quotes and reflecting questions. This handbook will also provide a helpful resource to care-givers when working to build positive relationships with their children; in that it can help them to reflect upon their choices and values, experiment with new practices that fit their lives and emphasize parenting as a relationship rather than a set of techniques | en_US |
