A reflective book for parents & teachers
Why do I lie?
Why do I get angry?
Why do I hate school?
Why am I always misunderstood?
You know ME explores these questions from the child's inner voice — helping adults pause, reflect, and listen differently.
You know ME emerged from years of listening to children — not to correct them, but to understand what their behaviour may be trying to communicate.
This is not a parenting manual.
It is a reflective journey for parents, teachers, caregivers, and educators who wish to understand children more deeply.
Children often communicate emotions through:
silence
resistance
anger
withdrawal
lying
attention-seeking behaviour
This book invites adults to look beyond the behaviour and listen to the emotion beneath it.
Early reflections on You know ME from educators, child-focused professionals, and learning communities.
