Description

Discover how you can cut the stress, catch up on sleep, and breathe a little easier with 50 practical tips to really make you feel happier!

The world is a pretty stressful place, especially right now, and we all need some help reminding us to take care of ourselves. But the good news is that there are loads of easy tips and tricks to keep yourself feeling happy, from customising your own bedtime ritual to how to resolve arguments with your parents.

Complete with simple breathing exercises, yoga poses, and even advice on the best food to eat when you're feeling down, this is a one-stop guide to transform worried kids into happy, confident ones.

Author Suzy Reading, a mum of two as well as being a chartered psychologist and yoga teacher, knows that the emotional wellbeing of children is just as important as their physical health. Good mental health allows children to develop the resilience to cope with whatever life throws at them and grow into well-rounded, healthy adults.

Funny, engaging, and practical - and brought to life with illustrations by Alex Paterson - This Book Will (Help) Make You Happy is the ideal book to help readers cope with their emotions and face each day raring to go.
