Effective Communication with Kids | Book Insights on The Whole Brain Child by Daniel J Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson

Book Insights Podcast

*Parenting can be tough work, and at times it can feel like just surviving is the most you’re able to do. But psychotherapists Siegel and Bryson show that the most difficult moments are actually opportunities to thrive – you just need to use integration.

*Integration means connecting the two sides of your – and your child’s – brain.

*This can occur both horizontally, left brain to right brain, or vertically, ‘upstairs’ brain to ‘downstairs’ brain.

*It’s about engaging both the emotional and logical parts of the brain and understanding how these sides develop at different stages in your child.

*Eminently practical and engaging, the strategies and techniques in The Whole-Brain Child will help your children lead connected, meaningful and balanced lives.
