full brain child

Author Name: Daniel J. Siegel

In this groundbreaking, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, MD, neuropsychiatrist and bestselling author, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson present a revolutionary approach to parenting with 12 key strategies that promote healthy brain development, resulting in calmer, happier children. The authors explain the new science of how a child's brain works and matures, and make 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. It's no wonder children throw tantrums, fight, or grieve in silence. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any rebellion, argument, or fear into an opportunity to integrate your child's brain and promote vital development.
Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day conflicts, and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to foster healthy emotional and intellectual development so your children can lead balanced, purposeful, and connected lives.
