The Whole-Brain Child (Daniel J. Siegel & Tina Payne Bryson)

"The Whole-Brain Child" by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson explores ways to help children develop balanced emotional and cognitive skills. It explains that a child's brain has different parts—the logical left and emotional right hemispheres—that sometimes conflict during challenges. The book offers strategies to foster integration between these parts, promoting emotional regulation, resilience, and social skills. By understanding how the brain develops, parents and caregivers can better support children in managing feelings, making healthy decisions, and growing into well-rounded individuals. The focus is on nurturing a child's developing mind through empathetic and mindful parenting techniques.
