Why I'd hand it to you
Daniel Siegel, a psychiatrist, and Tina Payne Bryson, a therapist, explain how a child's brain develops and offer twelve strategies for handling meltdowns, fights and fears in ways that build emotional skills. Ideas like connecting before redirecting are practical and easy to remember. There are even cartoons you can share with kids. My caution: the neuroscience is simplified for parents, and some experts think it is a bit too tidy. It also works best for younger kids. As a practical guide to staying calm and helping kids handle big emotions, it is useful.
