Happy Children : Secrets of How They Think

Om boken

There are many books written about children but very few where the children's thoughts and views take centre stage. In a society where books on parenting and childhood are based on the adult analysis of children with problems and difficulties, this book is completely different. In the children's own words, it tells how eight happy children view their life and the world around them. Challenging the notion that all children are obsessed with body image, controlled by peer pressure and crushed by bullying, the book reveals a very different picture. Even though these happy children face all the usual ups and downs of childhood, including bullying and family issues, they have found a way to be happy and stay happy. Through in-depth and wide-ranging interviews, the author tells their stories and reveals five distinct patterns of how these happy children think. This charming and insightful book will provide valuable tools for all parents and adults who interact with children.
