Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behaviour and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids

Description

‘I will be recommending this book to every parent’ Dr Laura Markham

‘I adore this book!’ Dr Tina Payne Bryson

Over her decades as a clinical psychologist, Dr Mona Delahooke has helped countless distraught parents who struggle to manage their children’s challenging behaviours. These families are understandably focused on correcting or improving a child’s lack of compliance, emotional outbursts, tantrums and other ‘out of control’ behaviour. But behaviour, no matter how challenging, is not the problem but a symptom; a clue about what is happening in a child’s unique physiological makeup.

In Brain-Body Parenting, Dr Delahooke offers a radical new approach to parenting based on an approach that considers the essential role of the entire nervous system, which produces children’s feelings and behaviours.

When we begin to understand the biology beneath the behaviour, suggests Dr Delahooke, we give our children the resources they need to grow and thrive, and we give ourselves the gift of a happier, more connected relationship with them. Brain-Body Parenting empowers parents with tools to help their children develop self-regulation skills, while also encouraging parental self-care. The result is a deeper understanding of your child, encouraging calmer behaviour, more harmonious family dynamics, and increased resilience.
