Compare You Won't Believe What Your Child Is Thinking by Catherine Thorpe, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Anyone who has a child, friend, partner or co-worker, knows someone with erroneous thinking. All humans are susceptible to leftover childhood misperceptions and young people are especially vulnerable to misinterpreting themselves based on their environments. Kids can believe they are responsible for their parents' problems, they may interpret divorce to mean something negative about themselves, young children believe most of what others tell them and virtually all young people pick up misinformation at some point. The goal of this book is to lighten life's journey for young people by informing adults about what kids are actually thinking and offering effective ways for adults to help them. The text includes ways to discover what young people believe, methods for responding to kids' perceptions, research that validates good parenting practices, skills for social success, and more. It may be mystifying, humorous, challenging and humbling to realize how young people make sense of their worlds yet helping them think correctly can change the course of their lives. | You Won't Believe What Your Child Is Thinking by Catherine Thorpe, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
