My Hidden Chimp: From the best-selling author of The Chimp Paradox

Product Information

If you could better understand and manage your emotions, thinking and behaviours, what difference could it make to you? With ten habits to put into practice, such as smiling, saying sorry and talking about your feelings, children can work on managing their behaviour and emotions, and understand why they sometimes behave and feel the way they do. It's written in a way a child of confident reading skill could read themselves or be read to by an adult.

To help do this, Professor Steve Peters developed The Chimp Model which consolidates complex neuroscience into an easy-to-understand model. My Hidden Chimp is an effective and powerful new educational book that offers parents, teachers and carers some ideas and thoughts on how to help children to develop healthy habits for life.

Again I would reiterate that if your daughter can see that this is a normal function of the mind that just needs some management she might see things differently. I tried to strike a deal with him where I promised I would check on him every 10 minutes, this worked for two nights before he completely lost it on the third night. The second, The Hidden Chimp, is a book for children, explaining both the Chimp Model and the ten habits in an easy to grasp picture-led format. His approach to “mind management” is to simplify the neuroscience of the brain into a comprehensive model. Our brain is a big mass of neurons and connections of which we only understand a very general picture.

What’s more, with our extensive experience working with children and young adults, we know exactly how to tweak and tailor our language so that it makes sense to every child of every age. I am not saying don’t reassure her but I am saying after reassuring her try to discuss this with her and explain that everybody goes through what she is experiencing and everybody has to recognise that we have to learn how to manage this. This comprehensive book provides parents and carers with crucial advice and guidance on how to strengthen attachment and trust. Putting on the Breaks (ADHD) by Patricia Quin ​ Written by two nationally recognized ADHD experts, Putting on the Brakesincludes practical ways to improve focusing, studying, and homework skills and contains strategies for making friends, controlling emotions, and being healthy. It always helps to acknowledge what they’ve learnt from their chimp brain and their sensible brain to recognise what both sides bring.I bought a couple of books and we talked the worry through at 'worry time' only and that has really seemed to helped with the whole gymnastic sessions, however she also will not stay on her own in the car. Our team of mentors are experienced in working with students alongside parents, carers and teachers, to help them understand and manage their emotions. Peters’ first book, The Chimp Paradox spent seven years near the top of the non-fiction list, selling over a million copies.

I've tried different approaches, I've punished him - he takes any punishment rather than be upstairs alone.The book simplifies the neuroscience of the mind for children to understand and includes exercises and activities to help them think habits through and start putting them into practice. The examples in the book are 4 children and their chimps in various different circumstances where the human thinks one thing and the chimp is thinking something else. Very nice to know this support is out there as quite often hard to actually get an opportunity to speak to someone in person these days.
