Thrivers : the surprising reasons why some kids struggle and others shine / by Borba, Michele,author.(CARDINAL)721625;
Introduction: running on empty: we're raising a generation of strivers, not thrivers -- Part one: Nurturing heart. 1. Self-confidence: Thrivers focus on "who," not "what." ; 2. Empathy: Thrivers think "we," not "me." -- Part two: Developing mind. 3. Self-control: Thrivers can think straight and put the brakes ; 4. Integrity: Thrivers have a strong moral code and stick to it ; 5. Curiosity: Thrivers are out-of-the-box thinkers -- Part three: Cultivating will. 6. Perseverance: Thrivers finish what they start and don't need gold stars ; 7. Optimism: Thrivers find the silver lining -- Epilogue.Thrivers are different: they flourish in our fast-paced, digital-driven, often uncertain world. Why? Dr. Borba combed scientific studies on resilience, spoke to dozens of researchers/experts in the field and interviewed more than 100 young people from all walks of life, and she found something surprising: the difference between those who struggle and those who succeed comes down not to grades or test scores, but to seven character traits that set Thrivers apart (and set them up for happiness and greater accomplishment later in life). These traits—confidence, empathy, self-control, integrity, curiosity, perseverance, and optimism—will allow kids to roll with the punches and succeed in life. And the even better news: these traits can be taught to children at any age...in fact, parents and educations must do so. In this book, Dr. Borba offers practical, actionable ways to develop these traits in children from preschool through high school, showing how to teach kids how to cope today so they can thrive tomorrow.Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-287) and index.
