The bestselling author of UnSelfie offers 7 teachable traits that will safeguard our kids for the future. We think we have to push our kids to do more, achieve more, BE more. But we’re modeling the wrong traits—like rule-following and caution—and research shows it’s NOT working. This kind of “Striver” mindset isn’t just making kids unhappier, says Dr. Michele Borba…it’s actually the opposite of what it takes to thrive in the uncertain world ahead. Thrivers are different: they flourish in our fast-paced, digital-driven, often uncertain world. Why? Through her in-depth research, Dr. Borba discovered that the difference comes down not to grades or test scores, but to seven character traits that set Thrivers apart—confidence, empathy, self-control, integrity, curiosity, perseverance, and optimism. The even better news: these traits can be taught to children at any age…in fact, parents and educations must do so. In Thrivers, 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.

Le manque d’empathie représente un véritable danger. Et les adolescents d’aujourd’hui ont 40 pour cent de moins d’empathie que les adolescents d’il y a trente ans. Ce manque affecte les performances scolaires des enfants et conduit au harcèlement. Il les pousse à davantage de triche scolaire et à moins de résilience. Dans Le Syndrome du selfie, Michele Borba examine les causes de ce déficit et, pour l’enrayer, propose un plan révolutionnaire en neuf étapes, fondé sur des études scientifiques. Comme l’empathie s’enseigne et peut se muscler, Michele Borba nous offre un cadre dans lequel déployer une parentalité efficace pour atteindre nos objectifs : des enfants heureux qui réussissent, tout en faisant preuve de gentillesse, de sens moral et de courage.
