Description

Would you like to learn the secret of raising confident children?

Keep reading this comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide for parents and teachers.

We all want our children to move through life with few social, emotional and educational challenges, the author included. This is why she wrote this guide. It aims to reassure readers, parents and educational staff that children are programmed to survive, and with generous and appropriate support from home and school, they will be able to do just that. Having confidence isn’t about feeling superior, rather it means you have the necessary skills to cope with life. When a child is confident, they are sure of themself and their abilities, and their level of confidence affects their future success and happiness.

This book examines so many aspects of raising confident children. It explores the many abilities and personality traits that contribute to a child’s self-confidence, such as: 

– persevering in the face of diversity,

– having the skills necessary for academic learning,

– being able to think creatively and collaborate with others, and many more.

This book also observes everything a child needs in order to be a confident and creative learner, as well as the more holistic issues of child development from the perspective of both home and school life.

As a parent of four adult children and grandparent of seven, and having taught in a variety of state and independent schools, the author has drawn on her vast experiences to write this fascinating and highly valuable book to help as many people as possible.

Packed with pragmatic, down to earth advice for parents and staff in schools to help them to understand, support and nurture the children in their care, this is a supportive book that has the potential to change lives.
