The Yes Brain Child

Daniel J. Siegel · 2018
79/100
👍 Worth It

Siegel and Bryson bring genuine neuroscience credibility and extensive clinical experience to a parenting framework that is both coherent and actionable — the four fundamentals of the Yes Brain give parents real handles, not just inspiration. Readers who loved The Whole-Brain Child will find familiar territory, and some will feel the core concept is stretched a bit thin, but the strategies hold up. A solid, trustworthy addition to the evidence-based parenting shelf.
