Daniel Audiobook

" Awesome!! The best book I've read about kids. I wish I could by a copy for every parent. "

" Highly recommend. Really clear, nonjudgmental (unlike lots of parenting books), and very helpful tactics for parenting so that your children thrive emotionally and, yes, do what you want them to do. I plan to consult this book again and again. "

" As someone who grew up in a dysfunctional family I have chosen to read as much as possible about parenting. This book is an excellent guide on parenting using the whole brain and it is chock-full of excellent advice on how to raise a loving, well-balanced and emotionally well child. The book also gives advice to parents on how to implement the lessons into their own lives. I highly recommend this book, it is exactly how I would have preferred to be raised. The best part is that it's easy to read, easy to understand and has guidelines in the back with lessons for all ages. "

" Very user friendly. Good information and research supported techniques in dealing with difficult behavior for parents and those helping parents. :) "

" Some great tidbits and I like the explanation of how the brain works. I felt like the information could have been shared in about half the number of pages. Plus a lot of the strategies are common sense. "

" A small book that is jam packed full of information. Fascinating information about neuroscience and the growing brain. I love the cheat sheets and grids by age at the back of the book that helps parents and caregivers consider the strategies and how to apply them by age. Also, I really appreciate the illustrations and even the sections that can be read to children, to help them understand their brain. I find myself saying to my husband as we are trying to contain a meltdown, "she's stuck in her downstairs brain, she can't access logic right now. let's help her calm down and we can talk reason and logic then." "

" Wonderfully written book. Offers insight into children as well as adults you are reflect on their own childhood as they parent. I gained several useful tools from this book, and will return to it over the years as my children age. So glad this is being added to our home library. "

" A valuable read for anyone who interacts with kids- not just parents. And anyone with a brain, for that matter...pun intended! This is a very user-friendly, simple-terms approach to understanding aspects of the brain and real-life application of the concepts, with handy cheat-sheets! "

" It's not easy to find a book that uses recent understanding about brain development and translates it into practical parenting strategies. I recommend this book. "

" This is an incredible book for therapists to read. It really helped me understand the importance of attachment theory and how we can combine biology with behavioral interventions. "

" Helpful, but seems difficult to accomplish. "

" One of the best parenting books I have read, it has helped tremendously. "

" Definitely a book worth having as a reference. I should re-read this one again sometime. "

" This book is about growing through parenting. It provides great tools for connecting and guiding our children but also improving our own awareness. "

" To say I read this book is an overstatement. I could only bear to skim it. The are a few good tidbits of information in it; but in an apparent attempt to make the material accessible, the writers dumbed it down too much. "

" Highly recommended for parents and clinicians alike. Practical advice and easy to read. "

" Loved learning a little about how the brain works and why certain parenting strategies help your child's brain develop AND solve tantrums at the same time. Brilliant! "

" Reading . . . .This is intriguing but one book I wish I had in paper or hardback rather than on my nook. "

" Some interesting information and useful strategies (though not exactly revolutionary) for dealing with children in ways other than "command and demand". There is a helpful "refrigerator sheet" at the back of the book with summaries. "

" A fundamental tool for parents. "

" One of the best parenting books I've read. They take neuroscience and make is very understandable. "

" An excellent read for parents who want to understand more about "why" their child behaves the way they do, rather than just reacting to their behavior. I will definitely be using these techniques in my parenting practice. "

" Too simple-minded to fill an entire book; more of an overblown magazine article. "

" Some if not most of these tools come naturally and therefore the book may serve in part as positive reenforcement for what you already do. There are several tools in here, however, that surprised me. The information on why these strategies work was very helpful. "

" Loved it. Very well written and easy to understand. Written for the parent and the child. Now to apply! "

" A great book about children's developing minds with practical strategies for raising children. "

" good, easy read with lots of great info and helpful examples. "

" This is a change of pace for Mankell. Since I enjoy his mysteries I was disappointed in "Daniel". "

" The culture clash and the inner workings of the mind and heart of a 10-year-old boy uprooted from his native Africa and taken to Sweden are beautifully rendered. "

" Loved the story even though it hurts a bit to read about all the prejudice. "
