Your Child's Brain

Understand what's going on in that little head — and parenting suddenly makes sense.

Why can your toddler count to ten but not wait their turn? Why doesn't being strict help when your child is over the top? The answer lies in the brain. This book translates the most important insights about brain development (0–7 years) into plain language and concrete responses for the moments that matter.

• Connect first, then correct: the order that works at every age
• Emotion regulation: how children learn it — and how you model it
• Why repetition, rhythm, and predictability are so powerful
• What busyness, fatigue, and screens do to a young brain

Includes
