The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Proven Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind

Product Information

On the one hand, at the end of every chapter, there is a real life problem with the real life actions parent should try to take. That's the good part. Memories aren't like photocopy machines that produce accurate pictures of what took place in the past. The hippocampus stores memory with an overlay of emotion, and our memories always coexist with the feelings we attach to an event. Memory also isn't like a filing cabinet, where we simply pull them out when we need to.

Sometimes children need a little bit of help with their empathy and to recognize others' needs and perspectives. Enter the fascinating discovery of mirror neurons. Our brains are activated to respond to the actions of somebody else. We can nurture this built-in wiring in our children to create more empathy. For example, if we see someone in tears, we often become tearful too. Our bodies automatically respond to someone else's emotions and actions. We mirror them. Hence, our kids can learn to empathize with others, without losing their sense of who they are.
