Description
Help your child develop into a well-rounded and confident individual with practical advice from renowned expert Ellen Galinsky. In "Mind in the Making", she shares her research-based insights on seven essential life skills that every child needs to thrive. These skills, such as focus and self-control, perspective taking, and critical thinking, are not innate abilities that children automatically acquire. Rather, they need to be fostered through everyday activities and practices that parents can easily incorporate into their daily lives. Galinsky provides concrete examples of how to strengthen these skills in your child, backed by decades of research in child development and neuroscience. By following the practical strategies outlined in this book, you'll be able to help your child build a strong foundation for success in all areas of life, from learning and communication to taking on challenges and staying engaged.
