Just what capacities does a child need to become the person - happy, resilient and wise - they want to be? And just what do we need to do to help our child be that person?
Is it nature or nurture? Should parents focus on good behaviour, motivation or skill development? How important are education, eating, sleep and manners? How big a part does temperament play in who we become as adults? And how do we learn to be the best possible parents?
In this ground-breaking book, Jo Jackson King looks at three main branches of early child development research and finds that they all come up with the same answer under different terminology: what a child needs to be successful is to be able to manage stress, stay focussed, and navigate both their own and other people's emotions. To be, in short, emotionally 'savvy'. A quality that will stay with them throughout their lives if given to them early.
But how to instil this in your child? This book explains the best approach to helping your child become the best, happiest, and most successful person they can be.
