Psychology: The Optimistic Child-Matin Seligman. Ex cond. H’back book
$15
A Perfect book for all to read and a proven program to safeguard children against depression and build lifelong resilience.
In The Optimistic Child, Dr. Martin Seligman offers a well-validated program to prevent depression in children. In a 30 yr study, Seligman and his colleagues discovered the link between pessimism -- dwelling on the most catastrophic cause of any setback -- and depression. Seligman shows adults how to teach children the skills of optimism that can help them combat depression, achieve more on the playing field and at school, and improve their physical health.
As Seligman states, "Teaching children optimism is more, I realized, than just correcting pessimism . . . It is the creation of a positive strength, a sunny but solid future-mindedness that can be deployed throughout life -- not only to fight depression and to come back from failure, but also to be the foundation of success and vitality."
The Optimistic Child offers parents and teachers the tools developed by the author to teach children of all ages, life skills that transform helplessness into mastery and bolster self-esteem. Learning the skills of optimism not only reduces the risk of depression but boosts school performance, improves physical health, and provides children with the self-reliance they need as they approach the teenage years and beyond. 'A world of optimists is a bigger world, a world of more possibilities', says Seligman. Filled with practical advice and written in clear, helpful language, this book is an invaluable resource for caregivers who want to open up this world for their children.

Grab yourself a bargain . I have had this since new. Originally purchased from ‘Plush’ for $2750.It has been well maintained. Non smoker household. No pets. Some very light wearing on the seams (see photo). Reclining mechanism works extremely well. It’s actually the size of a 2.5 seater, so good for a larger bottom or to curl your legs up! Must see. Need to purchase something bigger for additional family members living at home now. Maybe able to deliver locally for an additional charge. Measure$480West Footscray, VIC•2w
