Awakening Young Minds to Navigate the Challenges of Human Relationships

In a world that is rapidly evolving, traditional education often fails to equip young people with the emotional intelligence and critical thinking skills needed to navigate relationships, resolve conflicts, and create a more compassionate, peaceful society.

Brave New Child: Education for the 21st Century challenges the conventional approach to learning by advocating for an education system that nurtures intelligence beyond academics—one that awakens curiosity, encourages understanding, and empowers young people to think critically about the world around them.

This insightful and practical book provides educators, parents, and counselors with the tools to help students develop the skills necessary to build strong relationships, understand conflict, and embrace nonviolent solutions in both personal and global contexts.
