Each skill is backed up with examples and research, as well as various ways to foster these skills. In this book, Galinsky expands many of the skills beyond general knowledge. In the skill of communicating,for example, she talks about how important communication is, even in infancy, and how it isn't necessarily verbal. Also, in the skill taking on challenges, it is mentioned that children should be praised for their effort rather than their smarts. Research in the developmental field backs up Galinsky's writings, allowing us to know that infants, while nonverbal, can still communicate, and that receiving praise for a job well attempted can influence children to take on new challenges with greater effort. I would recommend this book, especially for those with a background in education or child development. I feel that these skills should be fostered in children, and that children who develop these skills will grow into well-rounded and successful individuals. It was an interesting read that had many take-home points that I will use in my work with young children. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a must for PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS, but heavy in content!! *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2015* I love non-fiction books and that is what y house is full ofThis is a great book to understand more about the neuroscience behind kids behavior and how to manage the situations that you will face or you have already experimented.I would say that it is a little too deep in every page. It is not a bed book at all. I have read some neuroscience books that I can easily read everywhere and that I can remember the page once I finished it. This is not one of those. You need concentration, and probably to go back to that sectionI may have missed that easy structures guide on how to do things in different situations that other books offer. Those books are easy to keep handy for those days you are inspired to deal with your child in a productive manner.But I really liked this book as a base for all we need to know about how our brains understand the worldPros- A lot of good information that is going to be really useful- Very well informed and amazing content- Lots of good advicesCons- Can be really heavy to read- Not a guide book but a "lecture" bookBasically I really liked it and I would recommended it to everyone even if you don't have kid.A MUST FOR TEACHERS AND PARENTS!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great ideas for parents and educators, GREAT BOOK! *by P***I on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2018* This book is a must for parents and educators. It describes 7 life skills that we, adults, need to focus on in order to help children thrive in the 21st century. It is research-based information on child development but written in a very simple and straight forward way, for all types of public. At the end of every chapter there are tips for parents and educators and this is what helped me the most and that I found to be very useful as a parent. It has amazing tips to try with our kiddos!I wish I had read this book before the arrival of my first child! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/112537689-mind-in-the-making-the-seven-essential-life-skills-every](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/112537689-mind-in-the-making-the-seven-essential-life-skills-every) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
