Synopsis

From the author of The Chimp Paradox, this book considers practical questions many adults face when supporting children: building resilience, learning from mistakes, and developing a more positive outlook. It also looks at how adults can become better role models.

Prof Steve Peters sets out the neuroscience behind the unconscious beliefs and habits that may be quietly shaping children’s emotions, thinking and behaviours. Alongside ten positive habits, it addresses unhelpful patterns including being overly self-critical, fear of failure and low self-esteem, offering a framework for understanding and challenging them. Suitable for parents, teachers and carers.
