 Amazing life altering! April 25, 2005

This book provides a basis for overcoming your childhood issues and creating a better future for your child and future generations. What could be better than that? I found this book to be one of the best books I've ever read and wish they made everyone read it before having children.
One of the best parenting books I have read (Ive read lots) January 29, 2005

Some readers may find this book "too scientific for a parenting book" but I found it utterly facinating and ate up every word.
The age old "nature vs. nurture" debate is examined and the newer concept of nurture effecting nature emerges with either positive or negative outcomes depending on the experiences of the child and the effects of their developing brain.
At times I had to take breaks from reading it to allow for integration of all the information, but the effect was that this book changed my parenting philosophy and approach, because instead of asking "what is going on in those little heads??" Now I know.
 This book was amazing! November 16, 2004

My anticipation of our new arrival promted me to buy this book. My wife and I loved it! It will stay in our library for future pick ups. To become a partent is a scary responsibility and we wanted to be as prepared as we could from the onset. This book puts issues in a way to help you realize your kids don't have to take on your own past problems and how to avoid while preparing them for their own life. So many great ideas in it!

Siegel and Hartzell provide valuable information for parents regarding the emotional development of children. Perhaps more valuable, though, is how parents can use the information to understand their own patterns of emotion. Information is accessible to a lay audience and includes learning exercises. Bibliographies provide connection to professional literature.
I recommend this book to all parents of young children, to those who work with children, and to those seeking understanding of their own emotional behaviors.

This book is a must buy book for all men who had a father and all dads of children! Dr. Siegel shares stories and honest examples of the challenges of fatherhood and provides tools for how to better understand our emotional reactions and manage them. It is a must buy book for all women who have a mother or who are moms of children including toddlers to teens. I highly recommend it to all adoptive parents. It provides ways to liberate oneself from "expert" advice and become more trusting of our own intuition. This book is a step in gaining freedom from impulsively reacting when provoked in any relationship!
It's really three books in one. The general text is easy to read and full of practical tools. Mary Hartzell, who is a warm and highly respected teacher and parenting educator in Los Angeles, tells beautiful stories and sprinkles her practical wisdom through out the book. The scientific gray pages about the brain and attachment research are highly appreciated by those who are less "touchy feely". The reflective questions provide an opportunity for self-growth. This books gives guidelines for living more joyfully, improving your health, and creating deeper connections in all of your relationships with the brain in mind. I loved it!
