Super práctico, me gustó muchísimo

Elizabeth

An unnecessary companion to the book。 Could have simplified and just added the additional activities to the actual book。

Shannon

Dan Siegel is just so great。

Дасгал ажлуудыг нь сайтар бодон тунгааж өөртөө үнэнчээр хийх хэрэгтэй болохоор энэ номыг киндлээр биш цаасан хэлбэрээр авсан бол илүү үр дүнтэй байх байжээ。 Хүүхдийнхээ мэдрэмжийг шууд үгүйсгэж албадалгүйгээр асуудалд хүлээцтэй хандаж, тухайн мэдрэмжийг нь хүлээн зөвшөөрч ярилцан тайлбарласанаар хүүхэдтэйгээ илүү дотно холбогдож болохнээ。

The whole-brain child workbookIt's realistic advice from parents to parents and anyone else who has a close bond with children。 Its written almost as if you are chatting to the authors which creates a common bond, as if you are being given advice from friends。 There are simple, quick and easy ways to change to support, both ourselves and our children, to become more resilient。 They give a clear message that we are all normal, everone gets frustrated and loses it, but that's OK。 A very easy style The whole-brain child workbookIt's realistic advice from parents to parents and anyone else who has a close bond with children。 Its written almost as if you are chatting to the authors which creates a common bond, as if you are being given advice from friends。 There are simple, quick and easy ways to change to support, both ourselves and our children, to become more resilient。 They give a clear message that we are all normal, everone gets frustrated and loses it, but that's OK。 A very easy style which is accesible for all with limited jargon making this ideal for all new and old parents alike。 I was given the novel free by netgalley。com for my fair and honest review。 。。。more

Companion Workbook to the Whole-Brain ChildIn this companion workbook to his Whole-Brain Child book, Daniel Siegel focuses on the way a parent's mental health affects the child。 Children are sensitive to a parent's moods。 The way a parent praises, punishes and understands the child can affect both neurological and behavioral development。 I think the workbook can be most helpful if you're already familiar with Siegel's work。 However, he includes enough explanation of his principles that the workb Companion Workbook to the Whole-Brain ChildIn this companion workbook to his Whole-Brain Child book, Daniel Siegel focuses on the way a parent's mental health affects the child。 Children are sensitive to a parent's moods。 The way a parent praises, punishes and understands the child can affect both neurological and behavioral development。 I think the workbook can be most helpful if you're already familiar with Siegel's work。 However, he includes enough explanation of his principles that the workbook can be used by anyone motivated to use the techniques to understand and help their child mature。 The workbook is filled with exercises for the parents aimed at having them understand their motivations。 This is an excellent approach because it's not so much the child's behavior as the parent's response that determines how well or poorly the child develops。 The book discusses how the brain works in language that is easily understandable by parents with no formal education in behavioral therapy。 It is easy to read and contains amusing cartoons to illustrate some of the principles。 There are also exercises to do with your child which are easily understandable by elementary school and older children。 I recommend this workbook and the book for any parent wanting to better understand and help their children mature。 I reviewed this book for PR by the Book。 。。。more

I read The Whole-Brain Child on the recommendation of our preschool director, and I loved it。 This workbook makes a great companion piece for that book。 It doesn't go into the theory too much, but it has plenty of questions and exercises to get you thinking and practicing the concepts outlined in The Whole-Brain Child。 After reading both separately, I tend to think it would be best to use the two together。I especially liked that it included some of the illustrations that you can use to guide con I read The Whole-Brain Child on the recommendation of our preschool director, and I loved it。 This workbook makes a great companion piece for that book。 It doesn't go into the theory too much, but it has plenty of questions and exercises to get you thinking and practicing the concepts outlined in The Whole-Brain Child。 After reading both separately, I tend to think it would be best to use the two together。I especially liked that it included some of the illustrations that you can use to guide conversations with your child(ren)。 These make the workbook immediately useful even if you don't have access to the book itself。The tone is fairly relaxed, and I didn't feel like I was being lectured。 I worked through this book alone, but it would be most helpful to do with a parenting group or class, or with a therapist, I think。 As with the book, I could see this workbook being a useful reference in the future。**ARC from NetGalley for review** 。。。more

The Whole-Brain Workbook continues the work done by Daniel Siegel about the impact of parental mental health on a child's development and neurological growth。 It is most clearly connected to his book The Whole-Brain Child and gives parents the tools and skills necessary to not only parent more effectively but to help their children grow into emotionally healthy, flexible and happy adults who can sustain intimate connections。 This workbook is more useful if you know Daniel Siegel's work and espec The Whole-Brain Workbook continues the work done by Daniel Siegel about the impact of parental mental health on a child's development and neurological growth。 It is most clearly connected to his book The Whole-Brain Child and gives parents the tools and skills necessary to not only parent more effectively but to help their children grow into emotionally healthy, flexible and happy adults who can sustain intimate connections。 This workbook is more useful if you know Daniel Siegel's work and especially if you have read the Whole-Brain Child but it is still possible to do use the workbook productively。 I could imagine an individual parent using this workbook yet I think it would be even better to use it with other parents and/or therapist; a chance to discuss the concepts, practice the skills and go deeper into the work。 I am so impressed with the parts of the book that show parents how to teach and use the material with their own children。 What a gift for a child to be specifically taught about how the brain works and how that impacts them。 I also appreciated that there were no specific techniques to use per se (like most parents, I have read many of them without much success) and that parents were steered away from approaches that devalue or minimize children's feelings。 I thought the exercises were easily explainable, mostly for a school age child and older, and the drawings made it lively and fun。 I can imagine using it with my 10 year old child。 Thank you to Edelweiss for allowing me to review this book for an honest opinion。 。。。more
