Synopsis

"I Think I Can, I Know I Can!” is the first book to focus on helping children use the self-talk method to become more confident and emotionally secure. A simple, five-step program teaches parents how to observe their children’s inner dialogue – the words kids repeat to themselves that reinforce anger, fear, or lack of confidence – and show their children how to change the negative voices into positive ones. The authors offer specific advice on using self-talk to control anger, overcome fears, improve school performance, make and strengthen friendships (with separate chapters for children and adolescents), handle stress, even enhance immunity to chronic colds and infections. Teaching children self-talk has proven effective in clinical and school settings, and can be done easily in the home. This book gives parents, teachers, coaches, and child-care professionals practical tools to help children face emotional problems and cope with difficult situations on their own.
