Families understandably seek to correct children's emotional outbursts, disobedience, or tantrums. However, Dr. Delahooke proposes a radical change in perspective: the behavior is not the problem, but the symptom. It provides a clue about what is happening in the physiological structure of the child. Neuroscience for Parents offers a fresh approach to parenting based on both Dr. Delahooke's long clinical experience and the latest research in neuroscience and child psychology. Instead of the classic brain-focused approach, she invites us to consider the essential role of the entire nervous system in generating children's feelings and behaviors. By understanding the biology behind the underlying behavior, we can give our children the resources they need to grow and thrive, and we will build a happier, more connected relationship with them.
