Daniel J. Siegel & Tina Payne Bryson (Scribe) The Whole-Brain Child

When your toddler's feelings arrive faster than their words, this short book gives you a way to understand what is happening and what to do next. The authors explain, in plain language, why young children melt down, and offer twelve strategies — such as connecting first and redirecting once your child is calm, and naming a feeling to help settle it — with cartoons you can stick on the fridge. It is short and readable. Caution: it rests on one framework, a simplified brain-based model; reviews tend to describe it rather than test the evidence behind each strategy. It suits toddlers to primary school more than babies.
