Advance praise for The Whole-Brain Child

“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.”–Publishers Weekly

“Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson have created a masterful, reader-friendly guide to helping children grow their emotional intelligence. This brilliant method transforms everyday interactions into valuable brain-shaping moments. Anyone who cares for children–or who loves a child–should read The Whole-Brain Child.”–Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence

“Fears? Fights? Frustrations? Help is here! Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson turn leading brain science into simple, smart–and effective–solutions to your child’s struggles.”–Harvey Karp, M.D., bestselling author of The Happiest Baby on the Block and The Happiest Toddler on the Block

“This erudite, tender, and funny book is filled with fresh ideas based on the latest neuroscience research. I urge all parents who want kind, happy, and emotionally healthy kids to read The Whole-Brain Child. I wish I had read it when my kids were young, but no one knew then what Siegel and Bryson share with us in an immensely practical way. This is my new baby gift.”–Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia and The Shelter of Each Other

“The Whole-Brain Child is chock-full of strategies for raising happy, resilient children. It offers powerful tools for helping children develop the emotional intelligence they will need to be successful in the world. Parents will learn ways to feel more connected to their children and more satisfied in their role as a parent. Most of all, The Whole-Brain Child helps parents teach kids about how their brain actually works, giving even very young children the self-understanding that can lead them to make good choices and, ultimately, to lead meaningful and joyful lives.”–Christine Carter, Ph.D., author of Raising Happiness

“In their dynamic and readable new book, Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson sweep aside the old models of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ parenting to offer a scientific focus: the impact of parenting on brain development. Parents will certainly recognise themselves in the lively ‘aha’ anecdotes that fill these pages. More important, they will see how everyday empathy and insight can help a child to integrate his or her experience and develop a more resilient brain.”–Michael Thompson, Ph.D., co-author of the bestselling Raising Cain

A pioneering and practical book for parents that explains the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mixing science with child development & integration

The most useful parenting book read thus far. The authors clearly explain child developmental challenges with brain activity without deep diving into the science. If anything, reading this book makes you appreciate that our little ones can only do so much with the brain they have and it’s up to us as parents to guide them to realising their full potential over the years. You will become more patient with tantrums, patient that they prefer blue socks over green and you will appreciate sharing proper quality time which can only benefit us all! An excellent read. Very useful, easy to read, highly recommended. Thank you!

Not that great. I just kept hearing a
North American accent as I was reading it… too much waffle and seemed repetitive. I could have read a summary of points instead of wasting time reading the whole book.

Fantastic book for any parent or individual in the helping professions. As both a psychotherapist and parent this ticked all the boxes. A long time since I looked forward to reading a book every night the way I did with The Whole Brain Child.

Easy to read and such useful information. They give you the background/science and then age-appropriate solutions to each problem you might encounter. I especially like the chapter about tantrums and how to deal with them.
I’ve referred back to it a few times to remind myself of the key points and I suspect I’ll be doing so for many years to come.

Every parent should read this book. I wish I had read it as a parent, rather than Grand-parent. Makes perfect sense
