Description
Wouldn’t it be great if your child came with an owner’s manual? A how-to book on how to raise your child? And if your child came with such a manual, wouldn’t it be helpful to have someone walk you through it, making that owner’s manual come alive? Michael Gurian and Tim Wright serve as your guides through what they believe is the owner’s manual for your child: Your child’s brain. While the brain doesn’t tell the whole story, it does offer a treasure trove of insights into your son or daughter. Michael and Tim each have over 30 years of experience using brain science research, best-practices, and their own experiences as dads in helping parents read, understand, and implement the gift of your child’s brain, the built-in how-to manual that will help you enjoy the wonder of parenting.

This is not necessarily an issue that will naturally resolve itself as she matures. A people-pleasing girl is uniquely vulnerable in our society: - being ignored because "she's fine" - being bullied because she's a pushover - not advocating for herself at work - being stalked/harassed for being "too nice" - being date raped - being unable to end a relationship with a manipulative abuser - getting married / having children because it's expected of her - staying in abusive/unfulfilling marriage "for the children" or "because he needs me" So yes, teaching a 4-yr-old to speak up IS IMPORTANT.
