5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for Nerdy Parents!
Reviewed in Australia on 18 January 2021
Wow.
I didn't buy or read many parenting books before I had my little one, but recently I've bought a few about child development because I find it fascinating! I listened to 'The Whole Brain Child' on audio and had to buy the paper copy too. This book is basically twelve strategies for fostering healthy brain development and also helps parents to understand what is going on with children's behaviour and how to use everyday moments to foster your child's brain development. In saying that, I have found it incredibly approachable with some interesting science thrown in too. Bonus: it didn't make me feel like a crappy parent! Anyway, I recommend this for any other geek parents like me who'd like a science-y way to understand and help their little people grow .

Reviewed in Australia on 27 July 2021
I was shoked by the quality of paper and printing of this book. I'm not talking about the content, but the paper and printing.
I'm not happy with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed our parenting completely
Reviewed in Australia on 22 July 2019
Verified Purchase
Felt like we were going from fire to fire just struggling to survive. This book has given us the skills to better connect with our kids when things are going wrong for them, for them to feel loved, nurtured and heard.

The background of how the brain related to our thoughts, emotions and behaviours is a huge eye opener and has not only helped with our parenting but looking at ourselves and how our own past issues affect our parenting.

Every parent who is struggling day to day or feels like they are constantly just telling off their kidswithout connecting will benefit from this.

The audiobook narration is great. Both authors do a great job reading the material.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical guidance that I will revisit regularly
Reviewed in Australia on 25 March 2022
Verified Purchase
Insightful food for thought, clearly written. Can be applied to parents of children from all ages and even within other relationships. I especially like that they have summarised the chapters at the end of the book and also clearly illustrate how the specific strategies look for children from each age group (e.g. toddler 0-3)

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of printing error rendering book hard to read.
Reviewed in Australia on 11 April 2021
Verified Purchase
This particular book was received with a printing error right through the book rendering it effortful to read (vertical blank line/smudge) about 2cm from the left of every page. Buyer beware. Have found it hard to continue reading due to this so can’t comment on content.

Every parent or caregiver should read this. It helped me to understand, help and teach my children so much, with not much fuss. It has put things into perspective. No more feeling like I’m at my wits end or being in despair about what to do next. It has so many practical ways to tackle everything from the smallest to the bigger issues. Thank you for this wonderful gift.

I really enjoyed this book, it was recommended to me by a friend. I bought an extra copy to give as a gift. Very helpful explanations and recommendations, even for adults to apply to themselves.

2.0 out of 5 stars The quality of printing is poor
Reviewed in Australia on 12 April 2022

there is a problem with whatever machine printed this book. There are two distinct 'lines' on each page that make many letters illegible and therefore some words too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad print quality

While the book itself might be great, But I have not read this fully as the print quality is bad. Will buy book from somewhere else if there is a better print quality.
