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 a child’s developmental relationship to behavior and learning. Dr. Draper 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.”
Based on thirty years of experiences with children, parents and teachers, she suggests effective ways to help children achieve success in school and life. She offers insights about the difference between natural and problem behavior—and what to do about it. Dr. Draper, focusing on each stage and pathway of development, gives suggestions for how to successfully:
live and work with a smart child
help without interfering
activate the learning loop
communicate to get results
