In the midst of a supermarket, your kid had a tantrum. Your preschooler won't put on clothes. Instead of participating in the game, your fifth-grader pouts on the sidelines. Do kids plan to make their parents' life as difficult as possible? No, that's simply their growing brain making the decisions!
Parenting guru Tina Payne Bryson and neuropsychiatrist Daniel J. Siegel, author of the best-selling Mindsight, demystify tantrums and frustration by outlining the new science behind how a child's brain develops and is wired in this groundbreaking, useful book. Up until the mid-20s, the "upstairs brain," which makes choices and regulates emotions, is still developing. Additionally, the left brain's reasoning is often subordinated to the right brain's emotions, particularly in young infants. It makes sense why children may act, and look, so unruly. You may use these findings to transform each tantrum, disagreement, or anxiety into an opportunity to integrate your child's brain and promote essential development. Use twelve essential tactics to raise children that are happier and more tranquil, such as
• Name It to Tame It: Use left-brained narrative to control irrational right-brained behavior by appealing to the left brain's love of language and logic to soothe physical tension and emotional upheaval.
• Involve, Don't Anger: Require your youngster to think and listen rather than just act out.
• Move It or Lose It: Change your child's emotional condition via physical activity.
• Allow the Clouds of Emotion to Roll By: Help your kids learn that emotions are fleeting by providing guidance when they get mired in a bad mood.
• SIFT: Teach kids to be aware of their own sensations, images, feelings, and thoughts in order to help them become more flexible and capable decision-makers.
• Connect Through Conflict: Foster empathy and improved social achievement by using discord.
In order to help your children lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives, The Whole-Brain Child provides you with clear explanations, age-appropriate strategies for handling daily struggles, and illustrations that will make these concepts easier for your child to understand.
