For years, clinical psychologist Mona Delahooke has been advising parents who struggle to manage their children's behavior. These families understandably focus on correcting emotional outbursts, tantrums, and other "uncontrollable" behaviors of their children. However, what is needed, as the author explains, is to change perspective.

Behavior, no matter how difficult, is not the problem but a symptom – an indication of what is happening in the child's unique physiology. This book presents a new approach to parenting based on the author's clinical experience and the latest research in neuroscience and child psychology.

Instead of a behavior approach that focuses on the brain, it proposes an approach that considers the role of the entire nervous system, which creates emotions and drives children's behavior. When parents change their parenting style and take into account the body-brain balance, they achieve a deeper understanding of their child, calmer behavior, a more harmonious dynamic within the family, and balanced, happy children.

Mona Delahooke's book is an incredible gift that parents needed. In a gentle, wise manner, it explains how young children struggle to manage life and relationships. It not only shows why but also shares many stories about how parents can support their little ones to grow.

This brilliant book should be in every home, every preschool, and every elementary school.
