The Silent Guides
How to Understand and Develop Children’s Emotions, Thinking, and Behaviours
How can we help children become more resilient, overcome mistakes, and develop a positive outlook? And how can we, as parents, teachers, or carers, serve as better role models? In The Silent Guides, Prof. Steve Peters uses his renowned Chimp Management® Mind Model to explore the neuroscience behind unconscious beliefs and habits that silently guide children’s emotions, thinking, and behaviour.
What to expect
Based on The Chimp Model®, The Silent Guides helps parents, teachers, and carers understand how the brain forms unconscious habits and beliefs. It provides practical strategies for challenging unhelpful thoughts, such as being overly self-critical, fearing failure, or struggling with low self-esteem.
By understanding these processes, adults can help children build emotional skills that will last a lifetime.
Key areas covered
in the book:
- Understanding the developing brain
- Forming healthy and constructive habits
- Developing a positive outlook
- Overcoming self-criticism
