Maximise your Child’s Performance - A Concise Guide to Unlocking their Potential
We all want our children to do well in life and achieve their full potential, but what if there was a way to significantly increase your child’s grades at school simply by them participating in a few, fun activities carried out at strategic times on their educational journey from preschool age onwards?
Early on in my career in education, I began to notice that some students seriously outperformed others from similar backgrounds. A pattern emerged - these students seemed to have things in common. Fascinated by the latest research in this area, it became a mission of mine to dig deeper and find out what was going on. My book, Maximise Your Child’s Performance, makes it simple and easy for you to benefit from what I discovered.
Based on a lifetime’s experience in education and the latest research in 10 key areas, Maximise Your Child’s Performance introduces the reader to activities and routines which can optimise a child’s ‘intelligence’.
I have seen the difference these things can make - and you can too.

Maximise Your Child’s Happiness is a book by Jennie Segar that explains tactics caregivers may employ to make children feel happier, safer, and more resilient as they grow. The text is divided into parts labeled H-U-G so readers may highlight and help children form strengths, understand hard subjects and use developmentally appropriate ways to approach them, and "gather happiness" by creating projects that help them focus and reflect on joy when needed. With information compiled by Peterson and Seligman, Segar points out twenty-four character strengths with detailed explanations and examples and provides suggestions for their application.
Jennie Segar’s powerful book may shift a reader’s perspective and focus it on the best practices for raising emotionally stable children. Caregivers can also discover things about themselves as they read by applying the techniques to their lives and modeling the behavior. The book is enhanced with action sections that include discussions and activities that will help open the most trying conversations. The author communicates good advice for difficult topics, like the introduction of sexual education and online safety, and points out the need to cite a child’s strengths, the power of affirmations, and the benefit of practicing mindfulness. Readers can feel confident about applying the concepts from Segar’s book as she has spent years observing and working with children in varying environments. Maximise Your Child’s Happiness is a must-read for any caregiver who hopes to give the child in their life the best emotional skills for growth and adaptability in the world’s current social climate.
