In her newest book—written for both lay and professional people in all walks of life and cultures—author, lecturer, educator, Angela Browne-Miller presents a set of tools and awarenesses adults can apply to raising and teaching children and teens.
Full of daily life advice, as well as profound ideas for changing the way we think about learning, Raising Thinking Children and Teens: Guiding Mental and Moral Development takes readers into the thinking processes of young people and shows how to reach them, to help them, to empower them.
"Moral intelligence" is key, and Angela Browne-Miller explains how to guide young people in developing it. She likewise explores human potential and ways to raise thinking children who will maximize theirs. Examining both the folklore and the scientific debates about intelligence, she shows the danger of mislabeling and how to watch for and prevent labeling at school, in the home, and in society in general. The book also treats topics such as the quality of care and safety in school and preschool settings, effects of the physical environment on learning, the role of organization in thinking, childhood stress and hypochondria, child abuse outside the home, and family violence.
Dr. Angela Browne-Miller is the founder of Addiction Stoppers based in northern California, director of Metaxis Institute based in northern California, and has been a keynote speaker at conferences around the world on addiction, violence, trauma, and behavior change. She is set editor for the Praeger International Collection on Addictions, 4 vols., and is the author of numerous books, including Praeger's Rewiring Your Self to Break Habits and Addictions: Breaking Free of Problem Patterns and To Have and To Hurt: Recognizing and Changing, or Escaping, Patterns of Abuse in Intimate Relationships.
