Brainwave is a positive, accessible, and practical toolkit guiding young readers on how they can improve their concentration and grow their resilience in an ever-changing world.

From coping with school after COVID lockdowns to navigating a complicated and sometimes scary world, life for your child is more difficult than ever. But there are ways for them to stay on top of these changes, develop stronger resilience, and switch their mindset from can don't to can do.

Dr Hannah Critchlow uses neuroscience and her understanding of children's behaviour and emotions to guide the reader from easily distracted to fully focused with fun exercises for them to complete along the way. Your child will learn how to ride the concentration wave and become a focused student.
