Book Review: The Whole-Brain Child




The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind, Survive Everyday Parenting Struggles, and Help Your Family Thrive by Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson was fantastic. I've been meaning to read it for a while now and am so glad I did. Siegel and Bryson present neuroscience research and apply it to parenting kids. It sounds like it might be dry and technical but is quite readable and accessible.

The suggestions are easy to implement and quite down-to-earth. I really appreciated how realistic the authors were about the challenges of parenting and how it's okay to not to it "right" all the time. I highly recommend this book. I've been implementing some of the strategies myself and will recommend it to clients. 5 stars!
