MIND
IN THE MAKING: Is your child having trouble focusing? Being patient? Staying engaged? Understanding a different point-of-view? In our fast-paced, multi-tasking world where adults communicate in 140 characters or less, we are in danger of passing along our cultural ADD to our children. What we must do instead is give them the tools they need to protect themselves against the onslaught of distraction and enable them to cope and succeed in a modern world. Ellen Galinsky’s ground-breaking new book, Mind in the Making: The Seven Essential Life Skills Every Child Needs shows dozens of easy ways that parents and teachers can instill vital skills, such as focus and the ability to take on challenges, in children of all ages. Mind in the Making is the book that every parent needs right now – it’s a rallying cry in our modern world. These skills can and must be learned and parents can teach them easily with Galinsky’s advice. The findings in this book – based on the work of top scientists and researchers in child development and neuroscience -- will also be presented to Congress and at events in every state. |
