Description : Our mind is one of the most extraordinary wonders of mankind! We use it to think critically and creatively, it stores our treasured memories, it helps us make friends and look after our loved ones, and it can transform our impossible dreams into reality. Sometimes we encounter glitches in our life's journey. The brain may not advance as fast as expected. This book delves into both the normal as well as the abnormal functioning of a child's mind. Topics covered include intelligence, creativity, consciousness, memory and normal development. It also gives practical advice on how to manage children's mental health and problems like ADHD, dyslexia, autism and depression. The book is timely because of the recent surge in interest of the human mind during the Covid-19 pandemic where there has been a dramatic worldwide increase in mental problems brought about by isolation, economic slowdown, unemployment, and loss of our loved ones. This book is suitable for everyone who is fascinated by the human mind.
