Description

This book helps students, academics, and nonfiction writers to get more done, write philosophical texts and learn for the long run. It teaches you how to take bright notes and ensure they bring you and your projects forward.

The Take Smart Notes principle is based on established psychological insight and draws from a tried and tested note-taking technique. This is the first comprehensive guide and description of this system in English, and not only does it explain how it works and why.

It suits students and academics in the social sciences and humanities, nonfiction writers, and others in the business of reading, thinking, and writing. Instead of wasting your time searching for notes, quotes, or references, you can focus on what counts: thinking, understanding, and developing new ideas in writing.

Understanding Emotions

Adele Faber emphasizes the importance of acknowledging your child's feelings. Instead of dismissing their emotions, she suggests parents should validate them. This helps children feel understood and heard, fostering better communication.

Avoiding Criticism

Faber advises against using harsh criticism as it can damage a child's self-esteem. Instead, she encourages parents to express their feelings and expectations without blaming or attacking. This approach promotes respect and understanding.

Problem-Solving Skills

The book explores how parents can help their children develop problem-solving skills. Instead of solving problems for them, Faber suggests guiding them to find their own solutions. This empowers kids and boosts their confidence.

Engaging Cooperation

Adele Faber provides practical tips on how to engage your child's cooperation without resorting to threats or punishments. She believes in the power of descriptive praise and positive reinforcement to motivate children.

Autonomy and Independence

Faber encourages parents to allow their children to make choices and decisions. This not only fosters independence but also teaches them about consequences. It's a great way to prepare them for the real world.
