Pretty straightforward and informative on how to engage and nurture the child’s developing brain (left vs right hemisphere, top vs bottom, implicit vs explicit memory, parts work, and me-we connection). Nothing super groundbreaking but I appreciated the specific applied examples. Pretty fast ready and my be more useful as a reference with the appendix outlining each age stage and strategies.

I NEVER read parenting books. I didn’t when I was pregnant, and I generally haven’t since either — they make me think even MORE about all the things I should/could be doing differently, which I don’t need more of in my life. But Maya had a rough start to the school year and her sweet guidance counselor recommended this book to help us understand some different approaches to take with her, and I was shocked how much I liked it. Not only did I find it approachable, but I actually looked forward to reading it each day. It uses a lot of metaphors, which I find really helpful, and gives lots of examples to make me feel like I’m not alone trying to figure out what’s inside my kid’s mind.
