Borrow 👍
The Whole-Brain Child hit the shelves before by Siegel & Bryson’s No Drama Discipline, and between the two, I say borrow this one and buy No Drama Discipline. That doesn’t mean this book isn’t fabulous! But let’s be honest, do you want to make your husband build another bookcase to hold your obsession with parenting books, too?
It’s crucial to keep in mind that no matter how nonsensical and frustrating our child’s feelings may seem to us, they are real and important to our child. It’s vital that we treat them as such in our response.
The Whole-Brain Child by Siegel & Bryson
While all the techniques presented in this book are grounded in neuroscience, our understanding of the brain has grown since its publication. Additionally, some of the left/right brain comparisons are more of a metaphor for logic/emotion than actual science.
