In this groundbreaking and practical book for parents, neuroscientist Daniel J. Siegel and child-rearing expert Tina Payne Bryson explain the new science of how a child's brain is structured and how it matures. Different parts of a child's brain develop at different speeds, and understanding these differences can help you turn any event, disagreement, or fear into an opportunity to integrate your child's brain and raise calm and happy children.

The book "The Whole-Brain Child" offers clear explanations, age-appropriate strategies, and illustrations to help you explain these concepts to your child. Through twelve key strategies, included are:

Name It to Tame It: As you observe your child's behavior, support the story that will help them calm emotional storms.

Engage, Don’t Enrage: Keep your child thinking and listening, rather than just reacting.

Move It or Lose It: Use physical activities to change your child's emotional state.

Let the Clouds of Emotion Roll By: Guide your children when they feel stuck in negative emotions.

SIFT: Help children pay attention to their Sensations, Images, Feelings, and Thoughts so they can make better decisions.

Connect Through Conflict: Use disagreement to encourage empathy and social success.
