Thrivers : the surprising reasons why some kids struggle and others shine / Michele Borba. by Borba, Michele. G. P. Putnam's Sons, [2021] Call #: 155.4182 B726b Subjects Self-confidence in children.   Empathy in children.   Optimism in children.   Curiosity in children.   Perseverance (Ethics).   Integrity.   Parenting. ISBN:  9780593085271 (hc) Description:  306 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Notes:  "7 teachable skills that set happy, healthy, high-performing kids apart" -- Cover. Include book discussion guide (p. 299-303). Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 269-287) and index. Summary:  "Michele Borba has been a teacher, educational consultant, and parent for 40 years -- and she's never been more worried than she is about this current generation of kids. The high-achieving students she talks with every day are more accomplished, better educated, and more privileged than ever before. They're also more stressed, unhappier, and struggling with anxiety, depression, and burnout at younger and younger ages -- we're like pretty packages with nothing inside, said one young teen. 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 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."--Publisher.
