Original post: [...]I received a copy courtesy of Orly Katz.Review:Similar to her series Surviving Junior High, Orly Katz writes a survival guide for children who are preparing or is currently attending primary school. Body Language, Intuition & Leadership is the third book in the series Surviving Primary School.There is so much meaning in the cover art alone. Though there is only two children with no surroundings around them, their body language spilled the beans on their true feelings, thoughts and behaviors.As recommended, this is a great book for children ages 9-13. With technology today, children are picking things up a lot quicker than I did, so they will pick up body language quicker and will need guidance.As always, Katz does an amazing job in reaching out to kids. This book is an easy read, yet so meaningful. Sometimes it is hard for parents to discuss matters of body language, so this book will be the perfect book to give to your children.Description:It happened on one of the first hot days at the very beginning of the summer.A few of us decided to ditch school - simply to walk out of the building and spend the rest of the morning by the sea!Right from the start my body started sending me signals that this wasn't OK...my stomach hurt me, and I ignored it, I got a thumping headache which I also ignored.Sarah forged our teacher's signature with incredible skill and handed us the signed notes which were our pass out of school.We went to the gatekeeper holding our notes then, suddenly, he made a comment, one tiny remark which made us all change colors, from bright red to white and we were struck dumb...And you really don't want to know what happened next...There are no two ways about it - our bodies talk to us and also talk to our environment about us!In this book you'll learn:* How to interpret our intuitions* How to understand what our bodies are telling us* The secret of body language - the international language which isn't taught in any schools but can help you better understand what your friends are telling you, so you can work out what they really mean...Let's find out together what different movements or positions really mean, what lies hidden behind our words and how we can use our own body language to get what we really, truly want.This book, the third in the popular series, (the books can be read in any sequence) includes:* True life stories about growing up!* Tips, helpful rules, simple to do exercises!* Fun `test yourself' questionnaires* A personal journalAll of which will help you discover what the popular kids already know...the secrets of body language, listening and intuition.Most importantly you'll learn how to be "simply me" and to survive Primary School!
