Neuropsychiatrist Siegel (Parenting from the Inside Out) teams up with psychotherapist Bryson in this brain guidebook for parents. The authors assert that parents can have a positive and important impact on helping kids develop brain skills. Siegel and Bryson clearly explain how the brain develops, pointing out specific examples of the brain at work in various situations (e.g., a four-year-old who melts down when left at preschool is working from her right brain; a 12-year-old who denies her emotions after a quarrel with a friend operates from the left brain). The authors offer 12 strategies parents can use to help their children integrate the various parts of the brain. For instance, a strategy called "Connect and Redirect" is used when a child is having a tantrum; it's best to connect with the right or emotional side of the brain, offering comfort, and later appeal to the left or logical brain when the child has calmed down (when a child is upset, logic often doesn't work). Siegel and Bryson reveal that an integrated brain with parts that cooperate in a coordinated and balanced manner creates a better understanding of self, stronger relationships, and success in school, among other benefits. With illustrations, charts, and even a handy "Refrigerator Sheet," the authors have made every effort to make brain science parent-friendly.
User friendly, common sense book. The conversations in text form and regular cartoon visuals of senarios stick in the mind. The application of the strategies suits me as a specialist teacher working in both the primary and secondary sectors. I find l use the material in conversations with adults and it can bring together teachers with diverse viewpoints re supporting behaviourally challenged students in their care. It is also an easy read without a lot of medical jargon. I admit l bought the book for a friend and after a quick flick through began reading and taking notes of key points. It looks as though we may be sharing it now.
