Based on scientific data, the award-winning researcher and professor of Developmental Psychology Danielle Dick analyzes a different approach to parenting that focuses on the unique genetic "code" of each child.
With few exceptions, books and podcasts for parents emphasize the critical role that parents play in shaping a child's life, overlooking a fundamental truth: that genetics influences every aspect of human behavior and every child has a unique "code" of predispositions that affect everything from how easily they become fearful to impulsivity and happiness.
The award-winning professor Danielle Dick aims to debunk the myth that the techniques used by parents alone can determine a child's behavior and future. Dick introduces readers to the three dimensions at the root of each child's unique predisposition – extraversion, emotionality, and intentional control or self-regulation – and demonstrates that, in reality, the key for parents to raise children who will grow into happy and successful adults is to adapt their strategy to the children's personalities.
Offering an important message, Every Child is Unique explains to parents that their most important task is to help their children become the best version of their true selves. In a pleasant yet scientifically valid manner, Every Child is Unique provides you with the practical knowledge you always wanted as a parent but didn't know whom to ask or where to look.
Genetics truly plays a crucial role in shaping our children's lives, but parents do not have the tools that would show them how to follow their children's "code" in order to maximize their potential. Fortunately, Dick offers this missing piece.
An exciting read with practical solutions.
