About this listen

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

This is an important and groundbreaking new audiobook from the best-selling author of The Chimp Paradox and the creator of the chimp management mind model.

First of all, don't be put off by the authors reading of the book. His insight and ability to explain complex neuroscience to the general public is worth its weight in gold
Every children's worker or parent should read this so they understand their own reaction to events as well as the child's.

My children are 26 and 23, so I'm more likely to use the techniques on my wife :)

So, clearly there is information for all!!

I will certainly recommend this book to my children when I become a grandfather, in fact a paper copy will make its way into their hands.

Great for parents...

tbh I downloaded this book without realising that it was mainly aimed at people raising or working with children.. I don't have any, but still found it interesting and resonant

encouraging and practical
