Did you know that you have an "upstairs brain" and a "downstairs brain"? In The Whole Brain Child, Dan Siegel & Tina Payne Bryson refer to temper tantrums as "flipping your lid"! This is a wonderfully accessible resource to help parents of young children navigate the slippery slope of social and emotional learning. It is a very easy and enjoyable read that synthesizes current brain research with best practices for both parenting and teaching our children. I highly recommend it as an essential resource. Our kids didn't come with an instruction manual but his might be the next best thing!
