Whole Brain Child Review

This book, The Whole Brain Child, by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. and Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D. has amazing strategies to connect with your child in the daily comings and goings.  

After a friend posted a list of "brain science" books that indicate the unschooling approach actually helps children in brain development, I requested most from our library.  This book was the one who spoke most to me in a simple, effective way to help children make connections and understand connections in their brain.  

The anecdotes and comic depictions of what to do and what not to do that fill each chapter were helpful and applicable.  The change that has occurred in our home after reading and applying the information gathered can only be describe as remarkable.  Instead of being sucked into diffusing a conflict or problem, I can approach the situation with the focus on making a connection and developing relationships further.  

This is a book that can be read again and again.  I am sure it will join my stack of books to reread.
