The Whole-Brain Child | Daniel Siegel & Tina Bryson | Book #8 | Neuroscience in Parenting

Book summary in Tamil The Whole-Brain Child explores how a child’s brain functions and matures. It explains why young children do not act like adults and why they can appear to be out of control. The book proposes “twelve revolutionary strategies to nurture your child’s developing mind, survive everyday parenting struggles, and help your family thrive”. Although far from “revolutionary”, The Whole-Brain Child proposes useful tools based on neuroscience to deal with everyday parenting. Siegel and Bryson’s book revolves around the idea that children’s experiences – and traumatising events in particular – should not be overlooked but, rather, should be addressed using age-appropriate strategies. The book focuses on helping parents understand how children deal with their emotions in different situations. 0:00 Book Intro 0:57 Role of Brain 2:29 Concept of Chaos and Rigidity 3:32 Understanding Left and Right Brain 4:41 Strategy #1 - Connect and redirect 6:03 Strategy #2 - Name It to Tame It 7:35 Integrating Upstairs and Downstairs brain 8:52 Amygdala - The gate in the stairs 10:47 Strategy #3 - Engag, Don't Enrage 11:53 Strategy #4 - Use It or Lose It 12:16 Enable Sound Decision making 12.45 Teach to control emotions 13:24 Help them to Understand themselves 13:59 Build Empathy 14:46 Teach them Morality 15:28 Strategy #5 - Move It or Lose It #thewholebrainchild #booksummaryintamil
