This World Book Day, we are proud to celebrate Katy Granville-Chapman, Deputy Head (Teaching Staff Performance and Development) at Wellington College, who has just published a new book exploring how young people can flourish in today’s complex world.
Growing Minds: The Science of Raising Thriving Teens, written with Anthony Seldon and Sara Lazer, draws on the latest research in neuroscience and psychology to help parents better understand the teenage brain and support young people to thrive.
In a world where teenagers face growing academic pressure, complex social dynamics and the constant influence of technology, the book offers an evidence-based guide to nurturing resilience, wellbeing and healthy cognitive development. It explores themes such as balancing pleasure and challenge, strengthening relationships and building habits that support optimal brain function.
Dr Granville-Chapman, who holds a doctorate from University of Oxford focused on leadership and flourishing, has long championed education that supports both academic success and personal wellbeing.
Growing Minds provides practical insights not only for parents but for anyone working with young people, offering tools to help teenagers navigate life’s challenges with confidence, compassion and resilience.
On World Book Day, we congratulate Dr Granville-Chapman on this important contribution to the conversation around teenage wellbeing and flourishing.
