Advance praise for The Whole-Brain Child
“Siegel and Bryson reveal that an integrated brain with parts that
cooperate in a coordinated and balanced manner creates a better
understanding of self, stronger relationships, and success in
school, among other benefits. With illustrations, charts, and even
a handy ‘Refrigerator Sheet,’ the authors have made every
effort to make brain science parent-friendly.”—Publishers
Weekly
“Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson have created a masterful,
reader-friendly guide to helping children grow their emotional
intelligence. This brilliant method transforms everyday
interactions into valuable brain-shaping moments. Anyone who cares
for children—or who loves a child—should read The Whole-Brain
Child.”—Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence
“Fears? Fights? Frustrations? Help is here! Daniel Siegel and Tina
Payne Bryson turn leading brain science into simple, smart—and
effective—solutions to your child's struggles.”—Harvey Karp, M.D.,
bestselling author of The Happiest Baby on the Block and The
Happiest Toddler on the Block
“This erudite, tender, and funny book is filled with fresh ideas
based on the latest neuroscience research. I urge all parents who
want kind, happy, and emotionally healthy kids to read The
Whole-Brain Child. I wish I had read it when my kids were young,
but no one knew then what Siegel and Bryson share with us in an
immensely practical way. This is my new baby gift.”—Mary Pipher,
Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia and The Shelter of Each Other
“The Whole-Brain Child is chock-full of strategies for raising
happy, resilient children. It offers powerful tools for helping
children develop the emotional intelligence they will need to be
successful in the world. Parents will learn ways to feel more
connected to their children and more satisfied in their role as a
parent. Most of all, The Whole-Brain Child helps parents teach kids
about how their brain actually works, giving even very young
children the self-understanding that can lead them to make good
choices and, ultimately, to lead meaningful and joyful
lives.”—Christine Carter, Ph.D., author of Raising Happiness
“In their dynamic and readable new book, Daniel Siegel and Tina
Payne Bryson sweep aside the old models of ‘good’ and ‘bad’
parenting to offer a scientific focus: the impact of parenting on
brain development. Parents will certainly recognize themselves in
the lively ‘aha’ anecdotes that fill these pages. More important,
they will see how everyday empathy and insight can help a child to
integrate his or her experience and develop a more resilient
brain.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D., co-author of the bestselling
Raising Cain
