Bütün-Beyinli Çocuk by Daniel J. Siegel
Your toddler is having a tantrum in the middle of a store. Your preschooler refuses to get dressed. Your fifth-gradeer is sitting on a bench crying instead of playing with friends in the yard. Do children somehow conspire to make their parents' lives unbearable? Of course not – their developing brains are the only thing that will tell you the way out.
In this groundbreaking and highly practical book, neuropsychiatrist Daniel J. Siegel and family counselor Tina Payne Bryson unravel the mystery of tantrums and outbursts in light of new scientific data on how the child's brain makes connections and matures. The "upper floor of the brain," responsible for decision-making and maintaining balance, continues to develop into the mid-twenties. Especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to dominate the logic of the left brain. It's no wonder your children are out of control, or feel that way.
By applying these discoveries every day, you can turn a tantrum, a fight, or a fear into an opportunity to connect with your child's brain and contribute to their vital development.
