Wait... Is That True?: Everyday Stories That Teach Children to Pause, Question, and Think for Themselves - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Your child's brain is faster than yours.

It jumps to answers, grabs at patterns, and decides before it has finished thinking. That is not a flaw. It is how all brains work.

But what if your child could learn to notice that jump, pause for half a second, and ask one question before she believes it?

Wait... is that true?

Across six chapters, four friends — Mia, Ravi, Noor, and Kai — face the everyday muddles all children face: blaming without proof, quitting without checking, guessing the worst about friends, and believing everything a screen tells them. Story by story, they learn to catch their fast brains in the act.

Each story comes with a parent guide, a staircase of questions, and a simple rehearsal game you play together at bedtime. No worksheets. No lectures. Just everyday stories that teach one habit most adults never learned.

Drawing on the Nobel Prize-winning research of Daniel Kahneman (Thinking, Fast and Slow), this book gives your child the pause that changes everything — and gives you the questions to help it grow.

For ages 4–7. Designed for parent read-aloud.

What parents are teaching with this book:
- How to notice when the fast brain has already decided something
- How to ask for proof before believing a feeling
- How to check the quitting voice instead of obeying it
- How to stop guessing what other people are thinking
- How to ask "who made this and what do they want?" at a screen
- One question that covers all of it: Wait... is that true?
