This is one to buy TODAY - it can potentially transform your parenting and also give new insights to those who are already familiar with Siegel's work.
This new book, as he teams up with Tina Payne Bryson, is a much easier read than many of Siegel's other informative books, whilst giving key insights from Neuroscience that impact our perspective of what children need to thrive. The authors chat with the parent from an empathetic 'been there and done that' approach as they share helpful insights and strategies about dealing with everyday parenting issues like temper tantrums or power struggles. Each chapter also contains simple cartoon -style drawings so that you can share key principles about what's happening in the brain with your children.

I read ‘Anything You Want’ by Derek Sivers in one easy sitting.
A great summer read. Short and inspiring.
Whilst this book is intended for those establishing themselves in business or trying to figure out their career, what I really recommend is to read this from the stance of Parent, replacing the word ‘business’ for ‘family’ and seeing your children as both ‘customer’ and, in a sense, as ‘employees’.
I’d love you to add your feedback on the Koemba Book Club. Val.
