Praise for The Emotionally Healthy Child

The Emotionally Healthy Child is a wonderful addition to the growing library of resources for parents and educators about the critical importance of understanding what emotional health looks like in the young. Maureen Healy provides us with clear and simple strategies to help children use the dirt of their daily experiences and steer toward the lotus of their lives. In doing so, she provides a manual for progress without perfection. A real gift.

Claire Kelly, director of Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP)

Maureen Healy provides simple yet life-changing tools to raise more mindful children.

Dr. Saamdu Chetri, former director of Gross National Happiness for Bhutan

At last, a brilliant road map of what emotional health in children is, along with amazingly accessible tools of emotional coaching to help them get there. Generously filled with real-life examples and learning scenarios any parent, teacher, or coach can relate to, plus exercises to teach the necessary skills, this book is a real gift.

Linda Graham, MFT, author of Bouncing Back: Rewiring Your Brain for Maximum Resilience and Well-Being

The Emotionally Healthy Child provides practical advice that is both accessible and potentially transformative for the child, the parent, and their relationship. Read it, read it again, and then, more importantly, apply it.

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh, and the greatness which does not bow before children.

CONTENTS

Our parents bring us into the world, but in the end, we are responsible for what we become.

KHALIL GIBRAN

I was a wild child. The type of child whose family members would babysit and leave wondering whether they really wanted children. Of course I had my charms, but my energy was boundless. I could run circles in the backyard, climb up the weeping willow, take the dog for a walk, and then come home to make my own beaded barrettes. I was constantly in motion. Later on, we discovered that I had many allergies, and once those were addressed, my body came back into balance and I calmed a great deal.

But my emotions were still big and intense. I was also a highly sensitive child who cried when someone teased me or when I fell off the swing and scraped my knee. I felt things deeply and didnt know what to do with my big emotions. Luckily I found constructive outlets for my energy, such as gymnastics, piano, and tap-dancing, into which I could pour my emotional ups and downs. But these creative classes felt like temporary relief. Now I know that what I needed was to learn about emotions and what my role was in creating happier ones.

The ideas and tools in this book are what my younger emotional self was seeking an understanding of how emotions work and how I could create better-feeling ones. Todays children are seeking the same things, and this book was born to address that need. My child clients have big feelings and face the same quandaries I had so many years ago, but fortunately they have me to guide them and provide them with activities that work, even in todays digital world.

People say to me, Im glad I grew up before the Instagram world put my awkward photos online, and I agree, but in some ways life is easier now. Information about how to feel happier and become emotionally healthy is now more accessible, which is a huge improvement over when I grew up playing Atari in my basement and not having a clue about what to do with my big emotions when I lost at Pac-Man.

One Big Idea

Emotional health is based on the ability to make better choices, even when feeling anger or another big emotion. Children and adults alike can learn how to identify their emotions, and then use the tools of emotional health to:

stop

calm

make a smarter choice

These three simple steps have the power to change everything. One of the challenges of emotions is that the tricky or challenging ones usually have speed, and to stop requires skill and practice. Just saying, Stop that isnt enough to slow a fast-moving car; one needs to know how to apply the emotional brakes, come to a stop, and then move in another direction. This is what this book teaches.

Using the tools in this book, children and adults alike can learn to pay attention and catch themselves before they make not-so-smart choices. Adults often know a not-so-smart choice when we make one, whether its screaming at someone or speeding twenty miles above the speed limit, so learning how to calm and center, and then make a smart choice, is not just good for your health its good for everyone around you.
