The Whole-Brain Child : 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child’s Developing Mind
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – The authors of No-Drama Discipline and The Yes Brain explain the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures in this pioneering, practical book. “Simple, smart, and effective solutions to your child’s struggles.”–Harvey Karp, M.D. In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain–and make accessible–the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. The “upstairs brain,” which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids throw tantrums, fight, or sulk in silence. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child’s brain and foster vital growth. Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives.

The latest book by eight times number one best-selling author Dr Libby, Women’s Wellness Wisdom, is, quite simply, the book that every woman needs to read. In this unique approach to wellness, designed to specifically address the issues that women of all ages face, readers gain a deep understanding of their body and what it needs in order to not just survive but to thrive. Often, we are simply told to eat “healthily” because it is “good for us.”
Rarely does a book this beautiful explain the processes of the body, and how they’re all interdependent on each other, while offering real guidance on how we can support ourselves in such succinct and easy to understand language. From over two decades of research, Dr Libby takes all the guesswork out of being a woman, providing insight into the questions that plague western women around the world, including:
why some people emotionally eat and how to end this,
why our skin breaks out and why we might lose our hair,
how estrogen and progesterone affect our bodies and our minds,
why we believe ‘if I don’t do it, it won’t get done’,
why we store body fat in a certain place and what we can do about it,
why our liver is the number one organ to look after,
and why we have big conversations at night, rather than at breakfast.
With interactive worksheets, real-life examples and step-by-step guides to making life-transforming changes, Women’s Wellness Wisdom is both practical and inspiring. Illuminating how women can thrive in today’s fast- paced modern world, and filled from front to back with Dr Libby’s unique blend of nutrition, biochemical science and emotional care, this beautifully illustrated book is truly the definitive guide for women about looking after their bodies, minds and hearts.
How we think and feel is directly affected by what we take into our bodies.
Eating the right food has been proven to boost IQ, improve mood and emotional stability, sharpen the memory, and keep the mind young.
This book covers a wide range of important topics and should be of interest to anyone who wants to think and feel great.
