About Raising Brains
Topping the list of things no one tells you when you become a parent is this big secret: If you want to raise your child to be happy, successful, and connected, you need a plan.
When it comes to understanding your child, expert advice on creating a plan is like finding a needle in a haystack. Raising Brains is the needle you’ve been searching for.
In this practical, holistic, and fun book, Dr. Sarah Levin Allen — pediatric neuropsychologist, parent/teacher coach, and working mom — walks you through the “Mom tricks” you need to create your own parenting plan for raising your little brains.
Little brains?
Yes, although you think you are raising kids, you are actually raising brains. And you might be surprised how helpful it can be to think of your kids as little brains, especially when emotions are running high.
This is the core of the mindful meddling parenting philosophy offered in this book.
Under Dr. Sarah’s guidance you’ll learn:
The 2 magic questions to help you think differently about parenting
How to encourage your little brain(s) to “Glow and Grow”
How to take advantage of everyday teachable moments
The brain basics checklist that will put everything back on track during “off” times
How to approach parenting different brains
How to create your own mindful meddling plan
To be successful, happy, and connected, little brains must learn more than how to follow the rules parents, teachers, and society create. They need to understand the meaning behind those rules and the value that they hold. Kids need to know their own strengths and weaknesses. They also need to learn independence, problem solving, and conflict resolution.
Raising Brains simplifies all the skills your child needs to flourish and how you can facilitate that growth.
