What are the influences upon a young child's mind, upon a teenager's mind, and upon the subsequent adult's mind? How can we explore those influences? A book that discusses the stories we tell children, about themselves, their lives, their emotions, and their behaviour, will all affect how they develop into adulthood. Stories can harm and heal in equal measure. Our whole lives constitute our personal story, not just from books but from lived experience too. These diverse influences on our lives have impacts that resonate through generations. So, what stories do our children hear in their lives, and how can we make them the best ones so that our children can express themselves positively and without fear? How can emotional literacy, mindfulness and self-awareness protect our children for their own futures. What should they look out for?.
