The Whole Brain Child

The whole-brain child is a book that shows us the scientific aspects of the brain our children are dealing with. Important to know the context and to identify what we want to improve. Left and right for clarity and understanding. Logical and emotional. Upstairs brain and downstairs brain: the planning and thinking vs the primitive and defensive part of the brain. Memory: the implicit and explicit memory. Using the remote to walk down memory lane can help children define things accurately based on their memories. Like ours, their memories are sometimes not always like what they were, not to mention serving the children well. We need to train our thoughts and memories so we can survive and thrive. Integrating many parts of yourself. That you put your attention to. The rim of the brain, the awareness state of mind. Integrating self and others. We can teach the children that if there is "me," there is also "we". The social part of our self.
