The Whole-Brain Child by Tina Payne Bryson and Daniel J. Siegel

Genre: Parenting, Child Psychology, Neuroscience The Whole-Brain Child by Tina Payne Bryson and Daniel J. Siegel is an insightful parenting guide that blends neuroscience with practical strategies to help children thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually. The book introduces twelve key strategies that parents can use to nurture their child’s developing brain, resolve everyday struggles, and build stronger family connections. Synopsis Children often experience emotional outbursts, tantrums, or moments of frustration that leave parents overwhelmed. This book explains how these behaviors are linked to brain development and offers effective tools to respond with empathy and understanding. By integrating the left (logical) and right (emotional) sides of the brain—as well as the “upstairs” (reasoning) and “downstairs” (instinctive) parts—parents can help children achieve balance, resilience, and better self-control.
