Summary
From the author of the million-copy selling The Chimp Paradox
How can we help our children:
- become more resilient?
- get over mistakes?
- develop a positive outlook?
And, what can we do to become better role models?
Prof Steve Peters uses his Chimp Mind Management Model to help parents, teachers and carers understand the neuroscience behind unconscious beliefs and habits that may be silently guiding children's emotions, thinking and behaviours.
The Silent Guides explores ten positive habits and many related themes taken from the children's educational book My Hidden Chimp.
Prof Steve Peters helps challenge unhelpful behaviours such as:
- being overly self-critical
- fear of failure
- low self-esteem
This is an important and groundbreaking new audiobook from the best-selling author of The Chimp Paradox and the creator of the chimp management mind model.

Great for parents...
My children are 26 and 23, so I'm more likely to use the techniques on my wife :)
So, clearly there is information for all!!
I will certainly recommend this book to my children when I become a grandfather, in fact a paper copy will make its way into their hands.

encouraging and practical
tbh I downloaded this book without realising that it was mainly aimed at people raising or working with children.. I don't have any, but still found it interesting and resonant

Thought provoking and educational
I loved the Chimp Paradox and this book is great too. Explains, with some scientific fact, what instinctively you may know anyway. If the human brain does not mature in some respects until it is 30 years old, why do our laws not reflect this?
A good listen!

Helped give insights into child’s thinking
Best parenting book I’ve ever read, haven’t raised my voice once to my child after reading this. Allowed me to empathise so much more than before. Thank you.

Must read for any parent or guardian.
I wish I have read this book years earlier. Both my human and my chimp are happy I stored it into my computer. If you do not understand then read or listen to the book. Steve Peters at his best.

Extremely insightful
The concept of the three brains, and applying techniques work children related to that, are invaluable.

Helps me understand myself as much as what I should have done with my kids
From the first word Steve Peters exudes competence and experience. The book anticipates your own thoughts and provides many excellent examples.
I look forward to anything else that he writes. I learn from guided repetition!

brilliant book
brilliant book. as a therapist it is always fabulous to have extra ways of helping nd supporting controlling children, young people and their parents.
the first book on the chimp for adults has helped me explain many things to clients and and I can see this doing the same.

Sensible Advice
Good for all adults who come into contact with children and/or teenagers - I.e. all of us.
We could all do with learning more about the malleable minds of the young.
