Recovery can be confusing for children and teens – and just as hard for parents trying to explain it. This page brings together gentle, age-appropriate books, podcasts, and videos to help young people understand their bodies, emotions, and symptoms.

Whether your child has ME/CFS, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, long covid, or anxiety, or you’re simply looking for ways to talk about the mind-body connection, these resources can help.

We don’t endorse any of the resources here, but only share what exists. Please do your own research. The information within our resources is from secondary sources, and is not intended to replace medical advice from a healthcare provider.  Whilst we aim to provide as much information as we can for free, some of these resources will cost you money if you take them up.   If there are scholarships or funding that we can find, we cite them in the resource.
