No.1 bestselling author and high-profile mental health and wellbeing expert, Dr Alex George, shows children aged 10-12 how to feel better every day. YOU ARE AWESOME meets global mega bestseller ATOMIC HABITS (20 million copies sold around the world) - but focusing on helping children build daily habits for happiness and wellbeing, rather than productivity.

Learn how to build Happy Habits for life with Dr Alex George's brilliant new book, packed with practical tools, and simple steps to support children as they grow.

Happy Habits is the new Children's Non-Fiction book from hugely popular TV doctor and Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author, Dr Alex George.

This book will be a toolbox of practical techniques to help children aged 9+ feel happier and more confident every day.

Dr Alex will reveal the tiny habits children can put in place to transform their day - from drinking a glass of water on waking up; writing down three good things that happened to you every day; to how to have a proper wind-down routine in the evening and the scientifically-proven reasons why we should avoid screen time for the last hour before bed.

Reassuring and empowering, HAPPY HABITS is a step-by-step manual for how children can improve their every day, and set them up with happy daily habits for life.

Dr Alex says- 'I wrote this book because I believe that looking after and shaping your mind should start early, and be empowering, not overwhelming. From friendships and feelings, to stress, sleep, and self-esteem, this book is packed with practical tools, positive habits, and simple steps to support children. Whether it's read alone or with a parent, carer or teacher, I hope this book becomes a trusted companion on the journey to feeling good and staying that way.'
