Books with author Lisa Hakes

The children's rhyme "Sticks and Stones may break bones, but names will never hurt me". This couldn't be further from the truth. Words hurt! From childhood teasing to adult put-downs, some insults may bounce off while the effect of others can stick for years. Careless and callous words are not easily discarded before our minds grab a hold of them. Researchers have found that during the early and middle school years the brain is actively developing. Exposure to peer bullying and verbal abuse causes changes to the white matter in the brain. Dwelling upon negative thoughts can do far more damage than the initial insult itself. Words have power. Choosing which to feed and which to dispose of can literally shape the rest of your life.
