In this bestselling classic, child psychiatrist and coauthor of The
Whole-Brain Child, Daniel J. Siegel and early childhood expert Mary
Hartzell explore the extent to which our childhood experiences shape the
way we parent. Illuminating important research in the field of
interpersonal neurobiology, Siegel and Hartzell explain how the
parent-child relationship directly affects brain development, and offer
parents a step-by-step approach to forming a deeper understanding of
their own life stories to help them raise compassionate and resilient
children.
Drawing on Siegel's cutting-edge research on how communication
influences brain development with Hartzell's more than forty years'
experience as a child development specialist and parent educator,
Parenting from the Inside Out guides parents through creating the
necessary foundations for loving and secure relationships with their
children.
