The Whole Brain Child

This is a fabulous book for therapists, parents, teachers, and anyone that works with kids.  I went to a training a few weeks ago, and this was one of the many books I added to my reading list.  It is great to help adults understand children's needs when they become upset as well as how to meet them.  It also has a lot of useful information on how to build a child's emotional intelligence.  It is very user friendly and easy to read.

After reading it, I created a five day group curriculum to help share some of the age-appropriate information with my group.  Please email me for the full powerpoint.





 


Friday was a review day.  Clients shared ways that the information has impacted them this week, and questions that this new information generated.  We set the stage of this being a science oriented theme.  This helped keep their attention and to help them think about the material in a constructive way.

It is very empowering and exciting for children to gain understanding to how their brain works.
