The Whole-Brain Child
The Whole-Brian Child utilizes neuroscience and psychology to help explain what is going on in our children’s brains as they develop and how we can use this science to help child understand their emotions and enable them to thrive. It encourages us to help our kids connect or integrate their left and right brain and their upstairs and downstairs brain, unpack implicit and explicit memories and to help them understand their connection with others with empathy and compassion. Having a wife that is a therapist and a 5 and 7-year old, I have plenty of opportunity to put these techniques to practice and hopefully turn difficult moments into teaching moments.
