In "Parenting Your Stressed Child", pediatrician and Duke University integrative medicine expert Michelle Bailey shows parents how to provide their children with practical mindfulness-based life skills for keeping calm in stressful situations including family conflicts, difficulties at school, problems with friends, divorce, and other life transitions.* Children are nearly as stressed as adults, but have fewer emotional resources to cope with these feelings* The author is one of only a few pediatricians formally trained in integrative medicine.
