Whole Brain Child | How to Boost Your Child’s Brain Development

This week Layne breaks down how a child's brain is wired, how it grows and how learning a little bit about it helps us raise calmer, happier kids. Different parts of a child's brain develop at different speeds and understanding these differences can reveal how to help your child through difficult feelings, how to respond to outbursts and how to support their growth into mentally well adults. Learning about brain development is the #1 tool that helped Layne crack the code on toddler behavior, become less frustrated and feel equipped to develop strong, trusting relationships with her students. She's not a neuroscientist so this conversation happens in simple, friendly language without a lot of technical terms (because she doesn't know them).

Thanks so much for loving our book and sharing it so beautifully!!! And hopefully you'll enjoy some of our other titles, like No-Drama Discipline, The Yes Brain, and The Power of Showing up. And I wrote one called The Bottom Line for Baby.

Laaaayne… you are INCREDIBLE 😭 I have this book and didn’t finish it because it honestly was too “heady” and uninteresting to me but you just made the cliff notes version come ALIVE. THANK YOU. I wish I could have you in my brain every day when I’m walking through my days with my kiddos. This may be my favorite episode to date.

[@jess_hover]

I totally agree! 🩷🩷🩷

For those who found value in "The Whole Brain Child", I would also highly recommend a book titled, "The Importance of Being Little". I am a kindergarten teacher and I am inspired by most of the insight in both books.

So thankful for this episode and so glad I listened to the whole thing! I have a degree in Psychology and all of that has left my brain since becoming a mom and being sleep deprived for 5 years 😅 all of this info is so helpful and I’ll keep it in the back of my mind all the time now as I’m interacting with my children. I feel more empowered to build the bridges!

Already listened on Spotify but I love your podcast so wanted to leave some support here :) great book!

[@jess_hover]

You're the best! Thank you!!! ☺️

[@mommybreakdown]

From teacher to mommy myself, I completely agree that this book is priceless for anyone working with kids. Thanks for covering it as it was a great review!

[@Dana-mb1hd]

[@jess_hover]
