Your toddler throws a tantrum in the middle of a store. Your preschooler refuses to get dressed. Your fifth-grader sulks on the bench instead of playing on the field. Do children conspire to make their parents’ lives endlessly challenging? No—it’s just their developing brain calling the shots!

In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson demystify the meltdowns and aggravation, explaining the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. The “upstairs brain,” which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids can seem—and feel—so out of control. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child’s brain and foster vital growth. Raise calmer, happier children using twelve key strategies, including
 
• Name It to Tame It: Corral raging right-brain behavior through left-brain storytelling, appealing to the left brain’s affinity for words and reasoning to calm emotional storms and bodily tension.
• Engage, Don’t Enrage: Keep your child thinking and listening, instead of purely reacting.
• Move It or Lose It: Use physical activities to shift your child’s emotional state.
• Let the Clouds of Emotion Roll By: Guide your children when they are stuck on a negative emotion, and help them understand that feelings come and go.
• SIFT: Help children pay attention to the Sensations, Images, Feelings, and Thoughts within them so that they can make better decisions and be more flexible.
• Connect Through Conflict: Use discord to encourage empathy and greater social success.
 
Complete with clear explanations, age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles, and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives.

Crit Epithetical Books The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind, Survive Everyday Parenting Struggles, and Help Your Family Thrive

I liked this book and appreciated the clear explanations of some brain science concepts (though I don't know whether it is all strictly accurate - for example, I keep hearing that the "left brain, right brain" thing is somewhat of a fiction). The book had a few really useful tools which I liked (for example, the wheel of awareness, and "move it or lose it"). It was well laid out, the cartoons and illustrations were helpful, and I really liked the "refrigerator sheets." As a parent and a

Ive been intrigued by a number of books recently that deal with brain development and emotional intelligence in children. This book, written by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., takes a look at the neurology of various emotional situations and strategies for dealing and developing emotionally intelligent children.As I write this post, I have not finished the book, but what I have enjoyed most so far is that it gives examples of traditional (authoritarian) parenting and strategies for managing situations

A great guide to parenting and talking to kids about their feelings. But it 's probably more helpful for parents of younger kids.

A fascinating read with good examples of how to transfer strategies to situations with your children. Some paragraphs are a slog to get through but on the while I got a lot out of this book, including many lightbulb moments!

I must say i am surprised to see so many good ratings. On the other hand it is the reason why I read it.First things first: I'm a dad with a 2 years old child and probably share every moms and dads usual issues and questions. By the way, we split everything that involves our child at home, meaning I do half of ALL.At first this book looked very promising. And then....I realised it has 2 sides.On the one hand, at the end of every chapter, there is a real life problem with the real life actions

I enjoyed this and tore through it pretty quickly. The only thing that annoyed me is the term "mindsight" ... It seems like there's already a term for what's being described: mindfulness. "Mindsight" sounds like a marketing term was being used where it wasn't necessary (maybe I'd feel differently had I also read Mindsight the book). Or maybe mindfulness isn't as common a term as I think and it helps people get the idea. Especially kids.Anyway, it seemed like there were good tips in here, for

I felt disappointed in this book. Generally speaking, there weren't new ideas shared or new research. The book read like the authors were trying to explain neuroscience to a young audience or maybe an audience with no exposure to child development. The book focused on anecdotal stories to illustrate why a strategy worked but did not back up claims with research. The one thing I liked was that since the book was so simply written, it gave me ideas about how to explain some concepts about the
