Your Child Is Smarter Than You Think! bridges the gap between how children think and learn and how they feel and behave. Dr. Wanda Draper discusses a whole-child approach to articulate the child’s development and its relationship to behavior and learning from infancy through adolescence. Based on thirty years of experience with thousands of children of all ages, and their parents and teachers, she suggests simple yet powerful ways to help children achieve success in school and life. She says, “You can’t send the head to school and leave the body at home—the whole child goes to school, the whole child lives at home, and the whole child participates in the world.”
Through a down-to-earth approach, Dr. Draper offers insights about how to tell the difference between natural behavior and a real problem—and what to do about it. She gives a lively explanation of how children think and act in relation to how they feel. Your Child Is Smarter Than You Think! focuses, at each stage and pathway of development, on suggestions for how to successfully:
“Parents and professionals are often confronted by the challenges of children because they are smarter than we think.”

Success in school and in life is rooted in the love and trust that grow out of early relationships between parents and their children. The kind of personal interchanges that form in the early months and years set the stage for how children will perform later. As they interact with others, they begin to form images of themselves that ultimately lead to success or failure.
One’s self-image is framed within everyday experiences. What happens to a child each day gradually accumulates until a snowball effect collects enough information to form a picture that the child believes is real. This mental picture may be fairly accurate, or it may be distorted, depending on how the child interprets the actions of others. For example, a child who is ignored a lot, except when misbehaving, soon views herself as important mainly when she’s in trouble. She will do what she has to in order to live up to this image. Every child wants to feel important, even if it has to be for the wrong reasons.
