The full child's brain book

In this pioneering scientific book, Daniel Siegel, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist and author of the best-selling book, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson present a revolutionary approach to raising children with twelve core strategies that enhance healthy brain development, leading to calmer and happier children. The authors explain the new science of how a child's brain works and matures, making it accessible to readers. The upper brain, which makes decisions and balances emotions, continues to develop until the mid-twenties. The right brain and its emotions tend to dominate the logic of the left brain, especially in young children. No wonder children have temper tantrums, fight, or silently grieve. By applying these discoveries to daily parenting, you can turn any rebellion, argument, or fear into an opportunity for your child's brain to integrate and promote vital growth. Appropriate strategies are provided according to age groups to handle conflicts day after day, with illustrations to help explain these concepts to your child. The book "Whole Brain Child" shows you how to promote healthy emotional and cognitive development so your children can lead a balanced, purposeful, and connected life.
