Your Child Is Smarter Than You Think! bridges the gap between how children think and learn and how they feel and behave. Dr. Wanda Draper discusses a whole-child approach to articulate the child's development and its relationship to behavior and learning from infancy through adolescence. Based on thirty years of experience with thousands of children of all ages, and their parents and teachers, she suggests simple yet powerful ways to help children achieve success in school and life. She says, "You can't send the head to school and leave the body at home-the whole child goes to school, the whole child lives at home, and the whole child participates in the world." Through a down-to-earth approach, Dr. Draper offers insights about how to tell the difference between natural behavior and a real problem-and what to do about it. She gives a lively explanation of how children think and act in relation to how they feel. Your Child Is Smarter Than You Think! focuses, at each stage and pathway of development, on suggestions for how to successfully: live and work with a smart child help without interfering activate the learning loop communicate to get results "Parents and professionals are often confronted by the challenges of children because they are smarter than we think." -Dr. Wanda Draper Wanda Draper, Ph.D., professor emeritus of the College of Medicine, University of Oklahoma, testifies about the relationship between childhood development and adulthood consequences as an expert witness in capital death-penalty trials.
