My friend Emilee got me this book. It was an interesting read. I wish I would've read it when my kids were smaller and those mysterious tantrums were a part of my weekly life. I think understanding brain development is one of the new frontiers of our era. Such language as the upstairs/downstairs brain, integrating the left and right, making the implicit explicit, the wheel of awareness - (being the conductor of your own thought life.)
The tools outlined in this book with short comic strips as well as engaging stories, are applicable to anyone - whether they're parents or not. The ongoing work of being aware of our own processes so that we don't sabotage others is something I definitely want to continue to embrace.
