Description

The child's brain develops exceptional capabilities during the first six years of life. This practical book analyzes, in an accessible way, the latest discoveries in neuroscience regarding the development of the child's brain.

The famous neuropsychologist Álvaro Bilbao explains very clearly everything parents can do to enhance their child's cognitive and emotional development and offers plenty of advice for children to acquire useful skills for the rest of their lives: to open up to the world, to learn to relate to others, and to have self-confidence.

The book helps us understand our children and provides the necessary tools to face the greatest challenge: to be good parents.

The Greek edition includes a special preface by the author for Greek readers, as well as a foreword by Georgios P. Chrousos (MD, MACP, MACE, FRCP, Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics and Endocrinology, Director of the Research University Institute of Maternal and Child Health and Precision Medicine, Head of the UNESCO Chair in Adolescent Health and Medicine, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens).

This book is for you if...

  • You have a preschool or school-age child (1 to 7 years old)
  • You want to understand why they "behave this way" and how to respond calmly
  • You are looking for scientific knowledge in simple, everyday language
  • You are interested in laying the foundations for a brain full of empathy, self-regulation, and intelligence

What will this book offer you?

You will understand how the child's brain matures and why some things are not "disobedience" but a natural stage of development. You will gain practical tools to support their emotional and cognitive development without yelling or punishment. You will feel calmer, more confident – and closer to your child.

Inside the book you will find:

  • Explanations for every basic brain function and how it connects to behavior
  • How to support your child in 3 areas: cognitive, emotional, social
  • Practical examples, illustrations, summary of each chapter, and “mistakes we all make”
  • Techniques for setting boundaries without yelling, connecting without overprotection, and encouraging without pressure

The opinion of the experts

"If you have to read only one book about your child's brain, let it be this one. It is scientific, human, clear, and applicable."
– Revista Ser Padres
"Álvaro Bilbao does not simply simplify neuroscience. He makes it a light in a parent's everyday life."
– El País

    Anyone who has a similar approach will love this book. Personally, I found it excellent, it provides examples to help you see how exactly what it describes is applied in everyday life, and overall it is a very easy-to-read book with great advice and research elements that help you.
