    About this audiobook

    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 audiobook, 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.

      Science integrates with psychology to explain how our brains develop. This book offers the techniques on how to steer our thoughts, feelings and subconscious habits toward more productive and rewarding behaviors. Truly life changing information for our children and ourselves. Thank you.

      A little mechanical. But I liked hearing the perspective. Maybe a little focused on previous trauma
    • 5/5
      Science based, practical, encouraging, and normalizing...the perfect book to ignite and encourage self reflection that will lead to raising emotionally intelligent children.
    • 5/5
      Opened my eyes into a whole new way of raising my child. I actually have already applied some of the strategies and have seen a difference in how my 3 year old reacted.

      Why is this audiobook not available in South Africa? I was looking forward to listening to it.
    • 4/5
      Substance: Uses brain research to help adults deal with children, and children to help themselves, by understanding what the child's brain is doing (or not doing) at different stages of development.

      skimmed it; liked the approach which is not so "revolutionary" if you have read and used the strategies of Adele Faber in How to Talk So Kids Will Listen, How to Talk to Teens..., How To Talk so Kids Can Learn
