“The Whole Brain Child – 12 Proven Strategies to Nurture Your Child’s Developing Mind” by Daniel J Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson
In my humble opinion this is a book that anyone working with or raising children could benefit from reading! I personally love the blend of neuroscience with practical strategies so you have both the understanding AND suggestions of things to try. It’s one I often cover at the Busy Parent Book Club and I know lots of people have found this book to be a game changer.

Lisa Damour was one of the consultants on Inside Out 2 and she has worked with teenagers as well as raising them.
