Synopsis

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE MILLION-COPY SELLING The Chimp Paradox

How can we help our children:

· become more resilient?
· get over mistakes?
· develop a positive outlook?

And, what can we do to become better role models?

Prof Steve Peters uses his Chimp Mind Management Model to help parents, teachers and carers understand the neuroscience behind unconscious beliefs and habits that may be silently guiding children's emotions, thinking and behaviours.

The Silent Guides explores ten positive habits and many related themes taken from the children's educational book My Hidden Chimp.

Prof Steve Peters helps challenge unhelpful behaviours such as:
· being overly self-critical
· fear of failure
· low self-esteem
"It's the simplicity of his work that gives it power. If you want to master your mind, then Professor Steve Peters is the Mastermind."
"He explores ten habits and suggests ways in which we can help children (and ourselves) towards positive ones. [...] I have really enjoyed this book, finding it helpful to have our brains and reactions explained in this way and finding the terminology useful, recognising and being able to talk about having a 'Chimp hijack'."
