The Optimistic Child

A Proven Program to Safeguard Children Against Depression and Build Lifelong Resilience
This book offers parents and teachers that proven program, describing the causes of pessimism, explaining how to identify danger signs in children, and outlining how to foster true self-esteem by teaching them to play, think, argue, and express their feelings more effectively. Perhaps most important, The Optimistic Child shows that learning the skills of optimism not only reduces the risk of depression in children but also boosts school performance, improves physical health, and provides them with the self-reliance they need as they approach the teenage years and adulthood.
