Psychology for Kids: The Science of the Mind and Behavior

I've now given this book to two 11 year old children, and they're both raving about it. They both love how easy to understand it is and how well it lays out information. Both have come out of it armed with new information on why people do things and with better understanding of their fellow humans. The information seems accurate to my somewhat hobbyist standards; i gifted the book as a direct result of getting a lot of questions about why people do things from kids who just want to understand people. I don't think it's going to explain to them life's deeper issues, but it's demystifying a lot of things and they're internalizing the fallibility of the human condition which will go a long way towards answering why sometimes people are not all we'd hope. I do recommend for any child who has a lot of questions about people.
