Every parent, grandparent, child minder, educator or whatever should read this book

Such a great book, a must read for all parents. Gives such an interesting insight into addressing challenging day to day situations parents face and understanding our children through the science of how of our brain works. Highly recommend this book.

Having just had my first child, I am not exactly well-versed in the world of parenting books. In fact, this is the first one I read that wasn't specifically about babies, so take my opinion for what it's worth!This book is full of practical advice, with the authors providing many example scenarios to demonstrate each point. As a result, it can feel a bit repetitive and even spoon-fed in places. However, I didn't mind that as it does make for a very easy read.My only slight negative about this book is that it is very light on the actual science upon which it is based. Indeed, it seems to be a trend in 'science-based' parenting books that the authors assume little to no scientific understanding on the part of the reader. While there are some descriptions about the different parts of the brain and thier roles, I would have appreciated more detail about what empirical research actually tells us about, for example, how memories are processed or how experience can influence integration between different parts of the brain.In short, the content is written to be practical and accessible, possibly at the expense of providing detail on the neuroscience underpinning it.

Wonderful book with a lots of useful information. If you are first time parents as I'm I highly recommend to give it a go.

Book is an invaluable resource for any parent. The book provides clear, research-backed strategies that are easy to understand and implement. Each technique is designed to help nurture a child's emotional and intellectual development. Since applying these strategies, I've noticed a significant improvement in my child's behavior and our overall relationship. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to support their child's growth and development effectively. Highly recommend!

Really insightful. Helps you to really understand the world from their point if view

My son bought this for me for Christmas - it’s a bedrock book- a must have on the shelf. Understanding children 101 - we can make the difference. This book is sound science, from the heart and easy to assimilate for busy moms 💜
