The Whole Brain child has already helped my daughter lead a calmer and happier life while I'm learning to implement strategies to help her balance her emotions.
This book is a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain—and make accessible—the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. The “upstairs brain,” which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids throw tantrums, fight, or sulk in silence. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child’s brain and foster vital growth.

It's All Good really saved me when my diet became severely restricted while nursing my firstborn with multiple sensitivities and allergies.
Not unlike a detox plan, the book is based on an "elimination diet" prescribed by Paltrow's doctor when she was feeling fatigued and faint, anemic, vitamin D-deficient and stressed. After changing her diet, Paltrow healed totally, felt more energetic and looked great. Recipes include dishes like Huevos Rancheros, Hummus Tartine with Scallion-Mint Pesto, Salmon Burgers with Pickled Ginger, Power Brownies and Banana "Ice Cream." |
