Description
In this book, the authors offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer and happier children. The authors explain and make accessible the new science of how a child's brain is wired and how it matures. The brain, which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. In young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, or fear into a chance to integrate your child's brain and foster vital growth. Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles that will help you explain these concepts to your child; this book shows you how to cultivate healthy, emotional and intellectual development, so that your children can lead a balanced and meaningful life.
